What type of engine oil is generally used for Teana maintenance?
2 Answers
Nissan's new Teana generally uses the 0W-30 type. Below is an introduction about engine oil: 1. Function: It can lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and cushion shocks for the engine. It is known as the 'blood' of the car. 2. Grade: The engine oil grade includes two parts: classification and viscosity specification. The oil grade usually indicates viscosity and quality. W stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating a lower usable ambient temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. The number after 'W' (after the hyphen) is an indicator of the oil's high-temperature resistance, with a higher number indicating better protection performance at high temperatures.
I remember when I used to maintain my Teana, I always used 0W-20 or 5W-30 fully synthetic oil, which is clearly recommended in the owner's manual. This viscosity is most suitable for the Teana's engine design, improving fuel efficiency and reducing consumption. After driving for three or four years, I noticed the engine runs particularly smooth after an oil change. However, the choice of oil grade depends on the car's model year and driving conditions. For example, 0W-20 is better for winter as it prevents freezing, while 5W-30 works fine in summer. But avoid using semi-synthetic oil randomly, as it can easily lead to sludge buildup and affect engine lifespan. I make it a habit to check the oil level every six months or after driving 5,000 kilometers, and I also replace the oil filter at the same time. It saves money and extends the car's service life. During maintenance, chatting with the technicians can help you find the right specifications.
