What type of engine oil is suitable for the Haval H6?
1 Answers
The 4S dealership for the Haval H6 uses SL-grade 10W-40 viscosity semi-synthetic engine oil, so any oil with the same specifications can be used. Below are relevant details for selecting engine oil: 1. Consider the vehicle type: For Japanese and American cars, the engines are more precise with smaller gaps between components, making 5W-30 oil more suitable. European cars often use turbocharging technology, resulting in larger gaps, so 5W-40 is relatively better. Typically, Japanese and Korean cars use 20 or 30 viscosity oils, such as SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, or 5W-30. American cars recommend 30 viscosity oils like SAE 5W-30, while European cars use 40 viscosity oils like 0W-40 or 5W-40. 2. Consider the vehicle age: Refer to the maintenance manual. Newer cars usually opt for lower viscosity oils like 5W-30. As the car ages, gradually switch to slightly higher viscosity oils, such as 5W-40, because older engines experience more wear and require higher viscosity oils. 3. Consider road conditions: Road conditions significantly affect oil lifespan. In areas with poor road conditions, the oil change interval should be shortened. In urban areas with frequent stop-and-go traffic, lower viscosity oils like SN 5W-30 are recommended. For long-distance driving, SN 5W-40 is more suitable.
