What Type of Engine Oil is Best for Winter?

[ChloeLee]

Winter requires the use of engine oil with viscosity grades starting with 5W or 0W. Below is a relevant introduction to winter engine oil selection: Temperature suitability for 5W or 0W: 5W can handle temperatures above -30°C, while 0W is suitable for temperatures around -35°C. For most regions, 5W viscosity is sufficient. However, if temperatures drop to around -30°C, 0W viscosity is recommended. Precautions for engine oil use: The numbers following the viscosity grade (20, 30, 40) should be selected based on the manufacturer's requirements. Generally, Japanese, Korean, and American vehicles are more suited to 20 or 30 viscosity, while German cars perform better with 30 or 40 viscosity. Always refer to the manual for the recommended specifications and avoid making choices based on personal preference.
