What type of engine oil should be used for the Haval H6 with China VI emission standards?
2 Answers
Haval H6 with China VI emission standards requires fully synthetic engine oil. Classification of engine oil: Engine oil is divided into three categories: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. The replacement intervals for these three types of engine oil also vary. Generally, mineral oil should be replaced every six months or 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every six months or 7,500 kilometers, and fully synthetic oil every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Precautions for adding engine oil: The quality of engine oil has a significant impact on the working environment of the engine. The engine operates in a high-temperature environment, continuously repeating mechanical friction movements. Engine oil plays a role in cooling, lubricating, and cleaning during this process. Over time, the impurities in the engine oil increase, and its performance declines accordingly.
My Haval H6 China VI model has been running for several years, always using 0W-30 full synthetic low-ash engine oil that must meet the ACEA C3 standard. This type of oil has low ash content, which protects the particulate filter and prevents expensive clogging repairs. I've used brands like Shell Helix specifically designed for China VI standards. During every maintenance check, I ensure the packaging is labeled as low SAPS—never use regular high-ash oils. The oil change interval is kept at 10,000 kilometers. City driving is more fuel-efficient, and cold starts in winter are smoother. Remember, the user manual recommends these specifications—don't switch to other types randomly. Choosing the right oil extends engine life and reduces pollution emissions.
