Regular replacement of oil as a routine maintenance must do a lot of riders do not know how to choose ~ today Xiaobian will be interpreted for you.

First, how important is the choice of oil?

Oil, also known as engine oil, choose the right oil, not only for the automotive engine lubrication wear reduction, auxiliary cooling and cooling, sealing leakage prevention, rust prevention, shock buffering and other protective effects, but also to improve fuel economy, reduce fuel consumption.

However, the wrong oil selection may cause the car to start difficult, louder noise, idle jitter, and even burn oil to destroy the car! Especially in winter and cold areas, choosing a suitable oil is particularly important!

Second, high temperature viscosity index

Good oil flow (viscosity) can reduce engine wear and ensure smooth operation of the engine in high temperature environment. When selecting the oil, the viscosity index should not be lower than the viscosity index specified in the vehicle's manual.

Too high viscosity: not conducive to cold engine start, will reduce engine performance, increase fuel consumption;

Too low viscosity: it is easy to lose lubrication protection in high temperature environments, accelerating engine wear and even damage.

Three, oil type identification

In general, synthetic oil is of better quality and can better extend the service life of the engine. Riders can choose their own type of oil according to the maintenance cycle.

4, according to the driving style, choose the right oil

① Daily commuting, city transport

Urban road conditions are better, car owners with short time and small mileage can use mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil from the economic level, and the viscosity is the same as the manufacturer's recommended label.

② Business travel, long distance

The driving distance is long, the engine heat is large, the quality of the oil is higher, it is recommended to use synthetic oil. If the manufacturer recommends the oil label is 5W-30, you can choose 5W-40 with better heat resistance.

③ Pursuit of performance, sports driving

Often intense driving (high speed), the load is relatively large, the heat dissipation and heat conduction of the oil, the oil film protection performance is higher, it is recommended to use the viscosity of more than 40 synthetic oil.

Summary: Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to choose the oil model recommended by the manufacturer, and then optimize the choice of oil according to your own driving environment.
