What type of engine oil is suitable for the 2018 Vision?
1 Answers
The 2018 Vision can use engine oil with an API quality grade of SL or higher, specifically the 5W-30 model. Alternatively, 10W-40 or higher grades are also suitable. Here are more details about engine oil: 1. Based on the difference in base oils, automotive engine oils can be categorized into mineral oil and synthetic oil, with synthetic oil further divided into semi-synthetic and full-synthetic oils. Full-synthetic oil represents the highest grade. Compared to mineral and semi-synthetic oils, synthetic oils can withstand higher temperatures and have a longer service life. Under the same working conditions, synthetic oils can achieve the required performance with lower viscosity, whereas mineral oils require higher viscosity to meet the same standards. 2. The three types of engine oils have different service intervals: mineral oil should be replaced approximately every 3 months or 5,000 kilometers; semi-synthetic oil every 8 months or 7,000 kilometers; and full-synthetic oil is recommended to be replaced every year or 10,000 kilometers. 3. Although full-synthetic oil offers superior performance, it is not suitable for all vehicles. Before selecting an engine oil, it's important to consider the engine type and the region where the car is primarily used.
