What type of engine oil is generally used for the Teana?
2 Answers
Teana generally uses 5W30 engine oil. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties. The Teana is a mid-sized 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4901mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm and a fuel tank capacity of 61.3 liters. The Teana is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 197 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a trapezoidal control arm multi-link independent rear suspension.
I remember driving my Teana for several years, and engine oil is quite important. The manufacturer generally recommends using 5W-30 full synthetic oil, which has moderate viscosity, starts quickly in cold weather, and saves a bit of fuel. I tried other viscosities before, but the car didn’t run smoothly enough, so I switched back to the factory recommendation. I change it every 5,000 kilometers—it’s simple to do it myself, and I can check the oil filter while changing the oil. Actually, the best way to choose engine oil is to refer to the manual, as requirements may vary depending on the model and year. But don’t skimp on cheap oil to save money—it damages the engine in the long run, and repairs will cost more. Regular maintenance keeps the car running longer and gives peace of mind on the road.
