    Both 0W and 5W engine oils are common in all seasons, but 0W will be better resistant to low temperature and high temperature, and the quality of the oil will be higher. The original 5W20 engine oil used by Sylphy for the first and second guarantees is not very good, and the power and silence are improved by changing the 0W20 GT oil, and it is because the low temperature resistance of the 0W oil is better, so the cold start will be better. And the original engine oil is still only 5000 kilometers of mineral oil, GT is 12000 kilometers of fully synthetic oil, if you want to better car performance, you should use higher quality 0w full synthetic oil in all seasons.

    0w is more fluid than 5w oil at low temperatures, and the vehicle is easier to start, I hope it can help you.

    0w means that the low temperature resistance reaches minus 35°; 5W means that the low temperature resistance reaches minus 30°.

    1. There are three types of engine oil: summer, winter and four seasons.

    1) Winter oil grades are: 0w, 5w, 10w, 15w, 20w, 25w, the symbol w represents winter is the abbreviation of winter (winter), the smaller the number before w, the smaller the low temperature viscosity, the better the low temperature fluidity, the lower the applicable minimum temperature;

    2) The oil grades used in summer are respectively, the larger the number, the greater the viscosity, and the higher the applicable maximum temperature;

    3) The general oil grades in winter and summer are: 5w w w w w

    2. High temperature type (such as SAE20 SAE50): the number indicates the viscosity at 100, and the larger the number, the higher the viscosity.

    Low temperature type (such as Saeow Sae25W): W means only for winter, the smaller the number, the lower the viscosity, and the better the low temperature fluidity.

    All-weather type (such as SAE15W W W 50): It means that the viscosity grades at low temperature meet the requirements of SAE15W, 10W, and 5W, and the viscosity grades at high temperature meet the requirements of SAE respectively, which belongs to the winter and summer general type. 5w30 and 5w40 indicate that the viscosity grade meets the requirements of 5w at low temperatures, and the viscosity grades meet the requirements of 30 and 40 at high temperatures, respectively.

    3. Generally in the winter in the north, 0w specification engine oil will be used, because the overall fluidity will be better, and the cold start is obvious.

This is the knowledge of engine oil labeling. The W in the text is actually the abbreviation of the English word "winter", which represents this engine oil, which is common in summer and winter. (In fact, this is the case with civil engine oils now). >>>More

The cost of 0W engine oil is high, and the high-end engine oil is basically 0W, you see that the traditional 0W of the Golden Mobil Castrol brand are all high-end series, and GT Magic Red is a PAO base oil, and there is no 5W engine oil, which is all 0W labels.

W stands for winter, and the number in front of w represents the freezing point temperature. The freezing point temperature corresponding to 5W oil is -30. If the local temperature is not so low, this oil can be used as an all-season oil. >>>More

w stands for winter (winter), the more ** the number in front of it, the better the low temperature fluidity of the engine oil, the lower the ambient temperature available for use, and the better the protection ability of the engine during cold start; The number after the "W" (after a horizontal line) is an indicator of the high temperature resistance of the engine oil, and the higher the value, the better the protection performance of the engine oil at high temperatures. Therefore, 0W-20 is more suitable for use in lower temperature areas than 5W-30. >>>More

The 5W-30 on the oil represents the number of the oil, and each number represents its performance parameters. In the 5w-30 oil, 5 represents the low temperature fluidity of the oil, the lower the number indicates the lower the ambient temperature available for use, and 5 represents the external low temperature resistance -30 °C; And w stands for winter, and the last 30 represents 100 degrees Celsius. >>>More
