What type of engine oil is suitable for the Nissan Sylphy Classic?
1 Answers
The recommended engine oil specification for the Nissan Sylphy Classic is 5W30. Between the two specifications of 5W30 and 0W20, the newer Sylphy models tend to favor 5W30. While 0W20 offers better low-temperature fluidity and is suitable for colder environments, 5W30, although effective only down to around -30 degrees Celsius, provides superior high-temperature protection and better sealing properties, making it sufficient for the engine to perform optimally. During maintenance at Nissan dealerships, three types of factory-customized engine oils are available for Sylphy Classic owners to choose from: conventional oil, synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The choice among these three primarily depends on the vehicle's driving conditions. For vehicles operating in favorable environments, such as frequent highway driving, conventional oil is adequate. For city driving, synthetic oil is recommended. Oil change intervals: If using mineral oil, it should be changed within six months or 3,000 kilometers. For semi-synthetic oil, the interval is six months or 5,000 kilometers. Full synthetic oil can be changed once a year or every 10,000 kilometers.
