Which country is Senle engine oil from?
2 Answers
Senle lubricants are a Chinese brand, belonging to the lubricant maintenance brand under Youjiu Technology, officially launched in March 2021. Below are some engine oil brands and their replacement cycles: Some engine oil brands: Shell: The Shell Group is a brand formed by the merger of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and British Shell Transport and Trading Company in 1907; Mobil: ExxonMobil Petroleum Corporation, established in 1866, is a world leader in lubrication technology; Castrol: Castrol is a globally recognized expert in lubricants; Total: Total Company (TOTAL) is one of the world's four major petrochemical companies. Engine oil replacement cycles: Engine oil is divided into three types: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The normal replacement cycle for mineral oil is 5000 kilometers or six months; for semi-synthetic oil, the normal replacement cycle is 7500 kilometers or nine months; for full synthetic oil, the normal replacement cycle is 10000 kilometers or one year.
Recently while helping a friend change oil at a repair shop, we talked about Senle motor oil. This brand is an authentic Chinese brand, with its headquarters reportedly in Guangdong. I've been using it for over a decade and find it decent in terms of cost-performance ratio, suitable for economical family cars with stable maintenance intervals. But to be honest, compared to international giants like Shell or Mobil, it still falls short in high-temperature protection and anti-wear performance. I'd suggest novice car owners check the SAE grade and API certification on the product packaging rather than just going for the low price, since motor oil directly affects engine lifespan. Consider your vehicle model and usage environment when choosing oil - it's fine for short commutes, but for long-distance high-load driving, synthetic oil would be more reliable. Regularly check oil levels to avoid low oil pressure causing malfunctions. Overall, Senle represents the current level of Chinese manufacturing, but there's still significant room for improvement.
