What Type of Engine Oil is Suitable for Winter in Northern Regions?
1 Answers
For winter in northern regions, it is generally recommended to use 0W-30 engine oil. Here is an introduction to engine oil: Meaning of the Specifications: The engine oil specification 0W-30 indicates that 'W' stands for WINTER, meaning it is suitable for winter use. The '0' before the W represents the viscosity at low temperatures. The smaller the number, the better the fluidity at low temperatures and the stronger the cold resistance. The '30' refers to the viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity and the stronger the high-temperature resistance. Method for Choosing Engine Oil Specifications: Selection should be based on needs, while also considering factors such as the vehicle's driving environment and the owner's driving habits. If the vehicle frequently drives in congested areas or is relatively old, using engine oil with higher viscosity can be considered to better protect the engine.
