What type of oil should be used for Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
New Sylphy is most suitable for original factory engine oil. Below is an introduction to the method of selecting car engine oil: 1. Engine oil is divided into three types: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. Mineral oil should be changed every 5000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every 7500 kilometers, and fully synthetic oil every 10000 kilometers. 2. On the oil bottle, there are markings such as 5W30, 10W40, and 20W50. The number before W represents the low-temperature performance of the oil; the smaller the number, the better the low-temperature performance. The number after W represents the viscosity of the oil at high temperatures; the larger the number, the higher the viscosity.
When I first started driving the Sylphy, I was particularly curious about the fueling issue. After checking the manual and the fuel cap label, both recommended using 92 octane unleaded gasoline as the most suitable option. The Sylphy's engine is designed and optimized for this fuel grade, ensuring fuel efficiency and smooth operation. While 95 octane gasoline can also be used, it's more expensive without improving performance, making it a waste of money. I once accidentally filled up with 95, and the engine showed no adverse reaction, but I've since stuck to 92 to avoid potential long-term damage from mixing fuel grades. It's a good habit to always check the fuel cap for the recommended grade before refueling. Taking good care of your car ensures worry-free daily commuting—don't let small oversights cause unnecessary trouble.
