For a car with 200,000 kilometers, 5W/40 engine oil is recommended. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is referred to as the 'blood' of a car. It serves functions such as lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, and reducing friction in the engine. Automotive Lubricant Standards: The viscosity standard follows the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) viscosity classification, which distinguishes the suitable temperature ranges for different lubricants. The performance standard primarily adopts the API (American Petroleum Institute) performance classification, used to differentiate the performance and quality of lubricants. Other classifications include ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Association), JASO (Japanese Automotive Standards Organization), and classifications by various engine manufacturers.
