What type of engine oil should be used for the Haval F5?
2 Answers
Haval F5 should use 5W30 engine oil. More relevant information is as follows: 1. 5W30 is the SAE of the engine oil, indicating the viscosity value of the oil. The number before W represents the minimum temperature at which the oil can be used, and the number after W represents the stability of the oil at high temperatures, which is the thickness of the oil. 2. The lower the number before W, the lower the minimum temperature at which the oil can be used. The higher the number after W, the higher the viscosity of the oil. For example, in extremely cold areas such as Northeast China, 0W30 engine oil should be used. 3. The engine oil used must be guaranteed to be genuine and not counterfeit or substandard. If counterfeit or substandard engine oil is used, it will not only fail to protect the car engine but may also damage the engine.
As a seasoned auto mechanic, I recommend Haval F5 owners to use 5W-30 engine oil. This viscosity range offers balanced performance in most weather conditions—smooth cold starts in winter and strong high-temperature protection in summer. The key is to check the oil's SAE grade and API certification, such as SN or SP level, to ensure compatibility with engine materials and prevent deposits. Synthetic oil has higher durability, allowing extended oil change intervals of 8,000-10,000 kilometers, making it more worry-free than mineral oil. Don’t overlook climate factors—0W-30 works well in extreme northern cold, but overall, 5W-30 is the gold standard, reducing engine wear and improving fuel efficiency. Regularly check oil levels and change the oil on time—don’t delay.
