What type of oil does the Leiling 1.2t use?
1 Answers
The Toyota Leiling 1.2t engine uses 5W-30 oil. This engine is a turbocharged engine, and for such engines, it is best to use full synthetic mineral oil with high viscosity, which helps lubricate the various components of the engine. There are three types of oil used in cars: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. Compared to mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil, full synthetic oil performs better, has a longer usage cycle, and provides better protection for the engine. During engine operation, oil is essential as it forms a protective film inside the engine, providing better protection and extending the engine's lifespan. Low-temperature viscosity grades are categorized as 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W. The smaller the number, the better the cold-start performance at low temperatures. 'W' stands for 'winter,' indicating low-temperature performance. For example, 0W oil freezes at -35℃, while 5W oil freezes at -30℃. High-temperature viscosity grades represent the viscosity at 100℃ and are categorized as 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity. All-season oil: Grades like 5W-40, which include both low and high-temperature viscosity grades, indicate all-season oil. Most vehicles today use all-season oil, eliminating the need to change oil with the seasons.
