    Not necessarily, the original engine oil of the 4S shop is generally mineral engine oil and semi-synthetic engine oil, you can see whether the engine oil bottle is fully synthetic or synthetic, if it is fully synthetic, it is fully synthetic engine oil, if it is synthetic, it should be semi-synthetic engine oil, but some of the original fully synthetic engine oil is actually only semi-synthetic quality, the original engine oil is useless after my second guarantee, and now I have been using the GT magic red of PAO four types of base oil, and the quality is good and you can rest assured.

    Not necessarily. 5w40 is only the label of engine oil, whether it is fully synthetic engine oil, mineral engine oil and semi-synthetic engine oil are all shared engine oil labeling, so it is impossible to judge whether the engine oil is fully synthetic engine oil from the label alone, and the bottle of fully synthetic engine oil is marked with the word fully synthetic engine oil. Synthetic engine oil is a chemical synthetic engine oil, which is better than mineral oil, and more in line with the engine oil requirements.

    5w40 is the label of the engine oil, only from the label is not able to judge whether it is a fully synthetic engine oil, if you want to know whether it is a fully synthetic engine oil, you need to look at other data on the package.

    1. High temperature stability is different.

    The number after w indicates the kinematic viscosity of the engine oil at 100, and the larger the number, the greater the viscosity, which means that the guarantee is better and more stable at high temperatures, that is, it is less likely to thin at high temperatures. That is, 5w40 is more stable at high temperatures than 5w30.

    2. The objects of use are different.

    5w40 has a better viscosity than 5w30, so it is more suitable for old cars, 5w30 is more effective in reducing fuel consumption, making the engine faster and better heat dissipation, and at the same time, it is also less noisy, suitable for new cars or naturally aspirated engines.

    The role of motor oil:

    1. Lubrication: There is a rapid relative sliding between the piston and the cylinder, between the spindle and the bearing, and an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces to prevent the parts from wearing too quickly. An oil film of sufficient thickness separates the surface of the relatively sliding part to reduce wear.

    2. Auxiliary cooling and cooling: the specific calorific value of the engine oil is low, and it does not have a cooling effect inside the engine. However, due to the heat generated by fuel combustion in the engine, when the engine is working, the oil can bring the heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air to help the water tank cool the engine, and the real cooling effect is the water (or antifreeze liquid) outside the engine case.

    Hello friend, I'm glad to help you answer this question, W stands for the meaning of winter, 5W represents the low temperature resistance of the engine oil in winter, it is minus 30 degrees, then this four zero represents the viscosity of the engine oil at high temperatures, and the third generation of H6 is the first warranty after the oil is charged.

    It's useless to change the label, just change the power directly to a better oil, the same brand of different grades of oil power is not much different, because there is no difference in quality, I changed the GT magic red after the warranty, PAO and ester base oil formula has both long-term power, and the comprehensive ability is much better than the ordinary three types of fully synthetic engine oil.

    Answer: The following is the specific difference between fully synthetic engine oil 5w30 and 5w40: 1. High temperature stability: The number after w indicates the kinematic viscosity of the engine oil at 100, and the larger the number, the greater the viscosity, and the better and more stable guarantee in the case of high temperature, that is, the possibility of thinning at high temperature is smaller.

    That is, 5w40 is more stable at high temperatures than 5w30. 2. In terms of the use of objects: 5w40 viscosity is better than 5w30, so it is more suitable for old cars, 5w30 is more effective in reducing fuel consumption, making the engine faster and better heat dissipation, and at the same time, the noise is also small, suitable for new cars or naturally aspirated engines.

    There are many different grades of engine oil, and different labels indicate different oil properties. Take 5W-30 as an example, 5 means that the temperature applicable to the oil is above minus 25 degrees, if it is 10 means above minus 20 degrees, the smaller the value in front of W, the better the low temperature fluidity. In other words, it is more suitable for northern winter, and has good cold start performance.

    W means winter, and the applicable temperature range is relatively large, which means that the engine oil can be used in all seasons.

    The value after 5w-30 is the viscosity index, which means that the viscosity index of the oil is 30 in the working state of 100 degrees Celsius, the higher the number, the higher the viscosity, the better the protection of the engine at high temperatures. However, depending on the driving situation and the type of vehicle, it should be filled with the appropriate grade of oil.

    The main difference between 5W30 and 5W40 is that 5W-30 has relatively better fluidity and is more capable of reducing fuel consumption and making the engine dissipate heat faster and better. At the same time, for some older cars, the use of 5W-30 will cause the engine noise to be slightly larger, and some strictly require the use of 5W-40 engines and choose to use 5W-30 will cause greater fuel consumption than normal.

    At high temperatures, 5W-40 will have better oil stability.

    Secondly, the same quality level of engine oil:

    The W-30 flows better than the 5W-40, reduces fuel consumption (fuel) more, and dissipates heat from the engine faster. (Low viscosity oils flow better than high viscosity oils).

    2. For old cars, the engine noise of 5w-30 oil is slightly louder than that of 5w-40 oil.

    3. For engines that strictly require the use of 5W-40, if 5W-30 is used, there may be a situation where the oil consumption is greater than normal (commonly known as: burning oil).

    The W-40 has better oil stability than the 5W-30 in the particularly high engine temperatures.

    According to the recommended viscosity viscosity engine oil in your car maintenance manual, the performance is slightly better in urban fuel consumption and low-speed torque response, but the disadvantage is that the high speed in the engine is relatively weak at 30, after all, the shear value is lower by 3If you focus on the driving experience in the mid to high rev range, you can achieve a viscosity of 530 4With the same brand and series, the best state of 30 to 20 can last longer, because the attenuation characteristics of the engine oil have a reference that the more you use it, the thinner it becomes5

    For these two types of engine oil, it depends on what engine is used to determine whether it is good or not. If you talk about these two types of engine oil separately, as long as it is a fully synthetic engine oil, this one is better. 5W-40 engine oil for this German car engine kilometers are relatively large, the use of this oil is relatively high, suitable for this engine kilometers of large kilometers, practical.

    This oil of 5W-30 is suitable for German engines with relatively small kilometers, or Japanese engines or American engines.

    It depends on the vehicle.

    First of all, it should be added according to the vehicle manual. If the manual allows you to add 5w30, but the vehicle is already more than ten years old, you can add it to 5w40.

    The difference between fully synthetic motor oil 5w30 and 5w40 is: the smaller the number in front of w, the smaller its low temperature viscosity, the better the low temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. And the higher the number after the w, the more viscous the oil.

    The following numbers mainly refer to the index of high temperature resistance of the engine oil, and the higher the value, the better the protection performance of the engine oil at high temperatures.

    The difference between 0w40 and 5w40 is: different references, different definitions, and different emphasis

    First, the reference is different.

    W40: Refers to fully synthetic motor oil.

    W40: Refers to semi-synthetic motor oil.

    Second, the definitions are different.

    W40: Synthetic motor oil is a kind of artificially manufactured motor oil, in the production process, a variety of natural substances are selected for chemical decomposition, and then synthesized with various other substances, and finally synthetic motor oil is produced. Synthetic engine oil manufacturers produce various types of synthetic engine oil according to user requirements.

    In other words, synthetic motor oil can change its composition depending on the purpose for which it is used.

    W40: semi-synthetic oil (semi-synthetic lubricant) is one of the automotive engine oil, semi-synthetic oil is the use of semi-synthetic base oil, that is: the international three types of base oil modulated lubricating oil, is the basis of mineral oil after hydrofission technology purification products, it is made of mineral oil, fully synthetic engine oil to 4:

    6 The purity of semi-synthetic oil is very close to that of fully synthetic oil, but its cost is slightly higher than that of mineral oil; It is an ideal transition product from mineral oil to synthetic oil.

    Third, the focus is different.

    W40: 0W40 fully synthetic motor oil contains 100% unconventional, high-performance fluids.

    W40: 5W40 Semi-synthetic motor oil (also known as "blended oil") contains a small percentage of this high-performance fluid and contains conventional mineral oils.

    Hello, 5W-40 and 0W-40 are both labels for engine oil. The letter W stands for winter, and in fact the oils with the letter W are all winter and summer general purpose motor oils.

    The number 40 represents the high temperature viscosity grade of the engine oil, the higher the number, the stronger the high temperature viscosity of the engine oil, the thicker the thickness of the oil film, and the better the sealing and protection ability.

    The numbers 5 and 10 represent the minimum applicable temperature of the oil, or the low-temperature fluidity. 0 means that the minimum applicable temperature of the engine oil is minus 35 degrees, and 5 means that the minimum applicable temperature of the engine oil is minus 30 degrees.

    If the minimum temperature of your car in winter is higher than minus 35 degrees, then 5W-40 and 0W-40 have exactly the same effect on the car.

    0w40 is better at low temperature than 5w40. 0w engine oil has more requirements for base oil and additives, and the overall quality is higher, which is basically fully synthetic engine oil. I am now using GT Magic Red, only 0W, driving to 10,000 kilometers before the power decays, fast acceleration, fierce acceleration, overtaking and climbing are very easy.

  21. Anonymous users2024-01-26

    The number in front of the w represents the low temperature fluidity, and the 0w40 oil is better than the 5w40 oil for a cold start. The original factory of 5W40 used before Lingdu, the start is slow in winter, and the G T Magic Red 0W40 engine oil used now is changed once in 15,000 kilometers, and the hot car time in winter is short, and the hot car at minus ten degrees is 3 minutes, and the start is more stable. The improvement of 0W compared to 5W is not only a cold start, but also the requirements of 0W engine oil for base oil and additives are better, so the overall quality of 0W is better.

    0W40 oil is definitely better than 5W40, the sound of the engine with extreme protection should be more sludge, I use PAO's G T magic red oil does not have this problem, the engine is very clean, the maintenance is 15000 kilometers to change the oil, than the previous 4S shop for 7500 kilometers can run longer, pull the speed to be quieter. However, as long as you change the fully synthetic engine oil, it is better than the original engine oil, and there are still no fakes in the 4S store, so you can change it.

    The low question performance of 0 is better, suitable for the northwest and northeast of our country, and the general local temperature is not lower than minus 25 degrees, and 5w is no problem.

    Don't look at the 0w40 engine oil is a little better than the low temperature resistance of 5w40, in fact, to achieve more low temperature resistance, the overall oil quality is also higher. If you are still not satisfied with the power of 0W40 fully synthetic engine oil, change to a PAO fully synthetic engine oil like G T Magic Red, the power increase will be greater, and the ability to resist temperature difference is relatively strong, and it can be used in all seasons. If you downgrade to a worse 5w40 oil, the driving experience will be worse than before.

  27. Anonymous users2024-01-20

    Not necessarily.

    5w40 is just bai

    The label of engine oil, whether it is zhi fully synthetic engine DAO oil, mineral engine oil and semi-synthetic engine oil, all share the right oil number, so it is impossible to judge whether the engine oil is fully synthetic engine oil from the label alone, and the bottle of fully synthetic engine oil is marked with the word fully synthetic engine oil.

    Synthetic engine oil is a chemical synthetic engine oil, which is better than mineral oil, and more in line with the engine's requirements for engine oil, which can better protect the engine. The replacement interval of fully synthetic engine oil is recommended to be one year or 10,000 kilometers, while the replacement interval of semi-synthetic engine oil is 8 months or 7,500 kilometers, but the replacement cycle of mineral oil is only half a year or 5,000 kilometers.

Semi-synthetic motor oil and fully synthetic motor oil are the two classifications of motor oil. The biggest difference between the two is that the fully synthetic oil is used at a wider temperature and has a longer service life; The same oil film requirements can be achieved with a lower viscosity of synthetic oils, while semi-synthetic oils need to use a higher viscosity than synthetic oils to achieve such requirements. In other words, in the same operating environment, a fully synthetic oil can protect the engine with a lower viscosity. >>>More
