What type of engine oil is used in the Haval M6?
1 Answers
Haval M6 uses the original factory engine oil with the specification 5W40. For later maintenance, you can use Mobil brand engine oil, choosing the No. 1 full synthetic oil; or opt for the Great Wall brand's dedicated full synthetic oil. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention must be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity, where 5W represents the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain viscosity better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Haval M6 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; apply some oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, generally filling up to three-quarters of a standard oil bottle; start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter, and repair if necessary; after stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to ensure the engine oil level is within the standard range.
