What kind of engine oil should be used for the new Mondeo 2.0T?
1 Answers
The new Mondeo 2.0T version uses 5W-30 semi-synthetic engine oil, while the 1.5T model requires 5W-20 full-synthetic engine oil. It is important to note that different brands and grades of engine oil should not be mixed, as this can affect their performance and, in severe cases, damage the car engine. Below is an introduction to the functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication to reduce wear: Between the piston and cylinder of the engine, the relative sliding of the main shaft and bearing bush causes wear. Engine oil forms a thick oil film between the two sliding surfaces, separating the surfaces of the relatively sliding parts to reduce wear. 2. Cooling and temperature reduction: Engine oil carries heat back to the oil tank and then dissipates it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine. 3. Cleaning and purification: Engine oil circulates carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away dirt generated on the parts through the flow of the lubricating oil.
