What type of engine oil should be used for the Qidian 150G2?
4 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.
In the auto repair industry, I've come across many small-displacement motorcycles like the Qidian 150G2. For engine oil, I recommend the standard SAE 10W-40 type with at least API SL grade to ensure basic protection. When selecting, look for clear labeling on the bottle and good viscosity control to prevent leaks. When changing the oil, drain the old oil completely without leaving residue, and tighten the bolts with moderate force to avoid damaging parts. It's advisable to change the oil every 3,000 kilometers or so to better remove carbon deposits and impurities, maintaining lubrication. Regularly check the oil level to ensure it stays between the upper and lower limits. Protecting internal moving components like piston rings and bearings ensures smooth operation with minimal wear, extending the vehicle's lifespan. Opting for reputable brands like Castrol provides greater peace of mind.
For daily commuting with the Qidian 150G2, I choose synthetic oil of SAE 10W-40 grade to reduce emission pollution and save some fuel. Regular oil change intervals of about 4,000 to 5,000 kilometers help maintain higher efficiency. Used oil should never be dumped carelessly—take it to professional recycling points for environmentally friendly disposal, protecting soil and water sources. Proper maintenance keeps engine noise low and minimizes resource waste.
