What Type of Engine Oil Should Be Used for the First Car Maintenance?
1 Answers
For naturally aspirated engine models, synthetic or full synthetic engine oil is recommended, while turbocharged engine models should use full synthetic engine oil. The first maintenance oil is usually provided free of charge by the 4S shop. When most new cars go to the 4S shop for their first maintenance, the oil that will be replaced for free is usually mineral oil. If you want to use synthetic oil, you must pay an additional fee. Below are specific details about engine oil: 1. Engine oil can be divided into three types based on its chemical composition: full synthetic, synthetic, and mineral. 2. In addition to the type of engine oil, pay attention to the oil model. Engine oil models usually follow two standards—SAE and API. SAE indicates the oil viscosity specification, while API represents the oil quality grade.
