What kind of oil should be used for the first maintenance of Haval M6?
2 Answers
For the first maintenance of Haval M6, Mobil 1 full synthetic oil is recommended, or you can use Great Wall's dedicated full synthetic oil. The viscosity of the oil should be selected based on the region where the car is located. There are two indicators for the first maintenance of a car: one is the time indicator, and the other is the mileage indicator, whichever comes first. The first maintenance should be done within three months or 5,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to car engine oil: 1. There are three types of engine oil for cars: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. These three types of oil have different usage cycles and effects. The replacement cycle for mineral oil is about 3 months or 5,000 kilometers, for semi-synthetic oil it is about 8 months or 7,000 kilometers, and for full synthetic oil, the recommended replacement cycle is about 1 year or 10,000 kilometers. 2. Compared to mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil, full synthetic oil has a longer usage cycle, better stability, and better oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. It is important to note that although full synthetic oil performs well, it is not suitable for all vehicles. Before choosing the oil, you need to decide based on the type of engine. If the car is equipped with a turbocharged engine, you can use higher-performance full synthetic oil to protect the engine.
I've been working with cars for several years, let me talk about the Haval M6's first oil change. The standard choice is 5W-30 full synthetic oil because it has good fluidity and high-temperature resistance, making it particularly suitable for new engine break-in. The Haval manual clearly specifies this grade - dealerships will automatically use manufacturer-recommended oil during maintenance, like Great Wall's own brand or similar premium options. Why full synthetic? It extends engine life and reduces wear - don't skimp on this. The first service is typically at 5,000km, remember to replace the oil filter simultaneously, not just the oil. After maintenance, the car feels smoother to drive with more stable fuel consumption. Regularly check oil levels to develop good habits.
