What Type of Engine Oil Should Be Used in Northeast China During Winter?
1 Answers
Use engine oil specifically designed for low-temperature environments, also known as winter engine oil. Winter Engine Oil: This type of engine oil is used for low temperatures in winter. The lower the viscosity of the oil, the higher the engine's starting speed; the oil is more easily pumped and can reach lubrication points faster, reducing the duration of dry friction between components. Engine Oil Usage Instructions: 10W-40 is its SAE standard viscosity value. This viscosity value first indicates that the oil is multi-grade. W stands for WINTER, and the number before W represents the oil's flow performance at low temperatures. The smaller the number, the better the starting performance at low temperatures. The number after W represents the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., the likelihood of thinning). The larger the number, the better the oil's stability at high temperatures.
