What type of engine oil should be used for the Qidian 150G2?
2 Answers
The Qidian 150G2 motorcycle should use engine oil with a grade of SF or higher, and viscosity grades such as 10W-40, 15W-40, or 10W-30, as long as it is suitable for motorcycles. For example, SL-grade 5W-30 oil can be used. The engine oil used in motor vehicles consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil primarily provides lubrication, while the additives improve the oil's performance and can impart new properties to the base oil. Choosing engine oil: When selecting engine oil for your vehicle, it is important to consider the temperature of the location where the vehicle will be used. Choose oil that is suitable for the engine based on the local temperature. Options include conventional mineral oil, full synthetic oil, and semi-synthetic oil. When categorizing oil for winter and summer use, winter oil should primarily focus on low-temperature viscosity grades, while summer oil, due to higher temperatures, does not require a low-temperature viscosity grade.
I've been riding the Qidian 150G2, a 150cc motorcycle, for several years and have found that SAE 10W-40 full synthetic oil works best for it. It doesn't sludge up in the summer heat, and in winter, the engine starts easily and spins faster when cold. Remember to change the oil every 4,000 kilometers, and clean the filter when changing the oil to ensure longer-lasting lubrication. I prefer brands like Shell or Mobil for their reliable quality—don't go for the cheapest options to avoid insufficient viscosity and faster engine wear. Regularly check the oil dipstick to ensure the level is within the normal range. With this maintenance routine, the bike runs quietly, accelerates smoothly, and is fuel-efficient, keeping long-term maintenance costs low. It's reliable for daily commuting. Developing this habit ensures a longer engine life with fewer issues.
