What type of engine oil does the Cavalier use?
1 Answers
The original factory engine oil specification for the Cavalier is 5W-30 mineral oil. Engine oil is a critical factor affecting engine performance and lifespan. The Cavalier comes pre-filled with high-quality multi-viscosity oil, which can be used year-round except in extremely cold climates. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Generally speaking, commonly available oils like 0W-40, 5W-30, and 5W-40 have strong applicability and are suitable for most climate conditions across China and for most vehicles. 2. Naturally aspirated engines have relatively modest requirements for oil quality and can use mineral or semi-synthetic oils. If the budget allows, full synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have tighter engine structures and more complex operating conditions, requiring higher-performance oil with better fluidity. It is recommended to use full synthetic oil for turbocharged engines.
