What type of engine oil is suitable for Haval H2?
3 Answers
Haval H2 is suitable for 10W40 semi-synthetic engine oil. The entire Haval H2 series is equipped with a powerful 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with a 7DCT Getrag wet dual-clutch transmission, which is considered very good in its class. Haval H2 is a compact SUV under Great Wall Motors, featuring two design styles for the front grille: hexagonal and large U-shaped. The entire Haval H2 series comes standard with RMI rollover mitigation system, CDP emergency braking, TCS traction control, HHC hill start assist, HDC hill descent control, smartphone connectivity system, daytime running lights, intelligent start-stop, rearview camera, cruise control, keyless entry system, one-touch start system, Bluetooth hands-free calling system, dual airbags, electric power steering, front and rear disc brakes, and tire pressure monitoring.
I've been driving a Haval H2 for several years and found that 5W-30 synthetic oil works best for it. The viscosity is just right, making it suitable for all seasons. Especially in the cold northern winters, it ensures quick starts and reduces wear, while in the hot southern summers, it prevents oil degradation. Synthetic oil provides excellent engine protection, resulting in quieter engine operation and slightly lower fuel consumption over time. On average, I change it every 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers. Never opt for cheaper mineral oil as it tends to accumulate sludge. I usually choose reputable brands like Shell or Mobil for peace of mind and durability. Remember to regularly check the dipstick for oil color – when it turns black, it's time for a change. Safe driving depends on these details.
As a daily driver of the Haval H2, I typically use 5W-30 oil for city commuting. The manual recommends this viscosity as it adapts well to various weather conditions, and synthetic oil lasts longer. On highways, the engine feels smoother and fuel consumption is lower, saving some money on gas each month. Don’t just focus on price—reliable brands like Great Wall oil are locally available, and you can change it yourself or have a shop do it every 6,000 to 8,000 kilometers. Avoid mixing different brands, as this may cause clogging. Also, make sure the oil meets API SN or higher standards for safety and environmental friendliness.
