What Type of Oil is Suitable for the Honda Vezel?
2 Answers
The Honda Vezel is suitable for 0W20, 0W30, 5W30, and 10W30 engine oils. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Cooling and temperature reduction; 3. Cleaning and purifying; 4. Shock absorption and buffering; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention. Taking the 2020 Honda Vezel as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4328mm, width 1772mm, height 1605mm, with a wheelbase of 2610mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2020 Honda Vezel is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 96kW and a maximum torque of 155Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam rear suspension.
My Honda Vezel has been running for five years, and the manual has always emphasized that 0W-20 oil is the most suitable. This viscosity works particularly smoothly during winter starts in the north, making cold engine starts much quieter. The Earth Dreams engine has smaller internal component clearances, so thinner oil can penetrate more effectively. During summer road trips, I tried 5W-30, and the fuel consumption increased by about 0.5. Although full synthetic oil is a bit more expensive, changing it every 8,000 kilometers is very convenient. Last year at the dealership, I saw Honda's special red-label ultra-low viscosity oil designed specifically for hybrid models, but for regular versions, it’s still recommended to choose according to the manual’s viscosity and certification standards.
