What Type of Engine Oil Should a Teana Use?
1 Answers
Teana generally uses 5W-30 engine oil. In extremely cold or hot environments, 0W-40 engine oil is recommended. Below is a detailed introduction to engine oil: 1. Classification of Engine Oil: By viscosity: 10W-40 is its SAE standard viscosity value, which indicates that the oil is multi-grade. The 'W' stands for WINTER, and the number before 'W' represents the oil's flow performance at low temperatures. A smaller number indicates better cold-start performance. The number after 'W' represents the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., its tendency to thin out). A larger number indicates better high-temperature stability. 2. Oil Selection Method: Choose engine oil that is clear in appearance, low in sulfur content (less than 1.0%), low in residual carbon content (less than 1.0% by weight), low in water and sediment (less than 0.1% by volume), and low in ash content (less than 0.03% by weight).
