What kind of engine oil should be used for the first maintenance of the new Sylphy?
3 Answers
You can use 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil, which is suitable for most luxury cars, turbocharged models and high-performance sports cars. Here is more information about the new Sylphy: 1. The length/width/height of the Nissan new Sylphy are: 4631/1760/1503 mm, and the wheelbase is 2700 mm. 2. The new Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 139 and a maximum power of 102kw. 3. The model of this engine is GR16, which uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and cylinder block, multi-point electronic injection for fuel supply, and adopts e-VTC engine technology.
I just bought a new Sylphy and went for the first maintenance shortly after. The 4S dealership recommended the original 5W-30 synthetic oil, saying it's the best for the new engine's break-in period, helping to prevent early wear. The new Sylphy's engine is designed with precision, and this slightly thinner oil provides excellent lubrication, especially during cold starts. I've used it in my previous car as well and noticed better fuel efficiency and reduced engine noise. Remember, the first maintenance must be done on time, ideally within the manual's specified period, around 5,000 kilometers. Delaying it isn't good for the new car's protection. By the way, if you change the oil yourself, make sure to go to a reputable place and avoid cheap, off-brand oils to prevent minor issues that could affect driving safety, like increased fuel consumption or lack of power.
For the first maintenance of the new Sylphy, I strictly followed the manufacturer's manual and used the Nissan-recommended 5W-30 synthetic oil. This oil doesn't thin out in high summer temperatures and flows easily in low winter temperatures, making it particularly friendly to new engines. I suggest not casually switching to other types of oil, such as 5W-40, which might be cheaper but the wrong viscosity could affect lubrication. For the first maintenance, the 4S shop usually provides this oil for free or charges a minimal fee. After maintenance, remember to record the replacement date for future tracking. Additionally, regular maintenance during the new car phase is crucial as it prevents future major repair costs. Regularly checking the oil level can save money and ensure peace of mind while driving.
