What type of engine oil is suitable for the Nissan Teana?
2 Answers
Nissan Teana generally uses 0W-30 full synthetic engine oil. According to the user manual, semi-synthetic engine oil (minimum requirement) can be used, but it is best to choose full synthetic engine oil. Some configurations of the Nissan Teana: 1. Exterior design: The corners of the headlights are exceptionally sharp. The arc of the integrated body bumper rises from both sides to the outer edge of the headlights, then naturally extends from the outermost corner of the headlights to form a smooth waistline running from front to rear. 2. Dimensions: The overall length of the Teana is 150 mm shorter than the Nissan Cefiro, but the wheelbase is 25 mm longer, making the interior space of this car more spacious than the Nissan Cefiro. 3. Suspension: The foundation of the Teana is built on the Nissan FF-L platform, with a MacPherson strut front suspension system and a newly designed multi-link rear suspension. This combination ensures ride comfort while improving handling and stability and reducing road noise during driving.
For a car like the Nissan Teana, which I drive frequently, choosing the right engine oil is crucial. The owner's manual recommends 0W-20 or 5W-30 synthetic oil with API SP or ILSAC GF-6 certification. In cold temperatures, 0W-20 starts up exceptionally smoothly, making it ideal for northern winters. During summer driving, 5W-30 provides better lubrication, especially if you often carry passengers, heavy loads, or drive on highways. In terms of fuel efficiency, 0W-20 is lighter and saves a bit on fuel costs. However, for older cars, it's important to note that after 100,000 kilometers, 5W-30 offers better wear protection. Although synthetic oil is more expensive, it only needs to be changed every 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers, saving money and hassle in the long run. I trust brands like Mobil or Shell to avoid counterfeit products. Regularly checking oil levels and sticking to the oil change schedule can extend engine life by over a decade. In short, follow the manual and avoid unnecessary modifications—your car will run quietly with ample power, whether in the city or on the highway.
