What type of engine oil is used for the X-Trail?
1 Answers
The X-Trail uses the original SL5W-30 engine oil. Here is some related information about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil. 2. Classification: Engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into mineral oil and synthetic oil based on their base oil (vegetable oil is not considered due to its scarcity). Synthetic oils are further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic.
