2 Answers
The Honda Lingpai 1.0T model uses 5w40 (3.7L) fully synthetic engine oil, with a replacement interval of 5,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information: Lingpai: The Lingpai is a new strategic mid-size sedan under GAC Honda, specifically designed by GAC Honda to meet the comprehensive needs of post-80s consumers, making it a mainstream compact sedan and a dream mid-size car for the post-80s generation. The Lingpai has become the second pillar brand following the Accord. GAC Honda Introduction: GAC Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Guangzhou Honda Automobile Co., Ltd.) was established on July 1, 1998, as a joint venture between Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. of Japan, with a joint venture term of 30 years.
I've been driving my Honda Lingpai 1.0T for quite a while now, and I always use 0W-20 full synthetic oil for maintenance. This grade is the best fit for its turbocharged engine, offering good protection and fuel efficiency. Choosing engine oil should always refer to the manual's recommendation—Honda officially suggests 0W-20. A lower viscosity grade ensures better lubrication for internal components, preventing wear. I typically change it every six months or 5,000 kilometers. Even in cold weather, it doesn’t thicken, and the engine stays quiet during hot summers. Always buy genuine oil, as low-quality oil can easily cause carbon buildup. Also, pay attention to driving habits—avoid aggressive acceleration to extend the oil’s lifespan. With proper maintenance, the power output stays smooth, fuel consumption remains low, and you save a lot of money in the long run. Most importantly, it reduces trips to the repair shop. I recommend sticking to official 4S dealerships or reputable shops for factory-matched products.
