| Base oil type | Fully synthetic>Semi-synthetic>Mineral oil | Choose based on budget |
| Oil change interval | 500 hours/6 months | Severe working conditions require shortening |
3. Performance comparison of popular brands
By analyzing the discussion content on the entire network, we compiled the performance comparison of three popular brands:
| brand | price range | User ratings | Outstanding advantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shell Rimula | 450-600 yuan/18L | 4.8/5 | Good cleaning performance |
| Mobil Delvac | 500-650 yuan/18L | 4.7/5 | Excellent low temperature start |
| Great Wall Zunlong | 350-480 yuan/18L | 4.5/5 | High cost performance |
4. Suggestions for seasonal use
According to the climate characteristics of different seasons, the selection of engine oil should be adjusted:
1.winter advice: Choose SAE 10W-30 or 5W-40 label and pay attention to the pour point index (recommended ≤-35℃)
2.summer advice: Choose SAE 20W-50 grade, focusing on oil film strength and oxidation resistance.
3.Spring and Fall Recommendations: 15W-40 mark is the best balanced choice
5. Common misunderstandings among users
Based on the analysis of discussion data in the past 10 days, we found the following common misunderstandings:
1. Misunderstanding 1: Imported engine oil must be better than domestic engine oil (actually domestic high-end oil products have reached the standard)
2. Misunderstanding 2: The higher the viscosity, the better the protection (too high a viscosity will increase fuel consumption)
3. Misunderstanding 3: Different brands of engine oil can be mixed (chemical reactions may occur)
6. Expert purchasing advice
1. Prioritize the recommendation of the manufacturer by referring to the "Instruction Manual" of the excavator.
2. Purchase through regular channels and pay attention to anti-counterfeiting signs.
3. Keep the proof of purchase and engine oil sample (in case of quality disputes)
4. When using a new brand for the first time, the oil change interval should be shortened and observed.
From the above analysis, it can be seen that the selection of excavator oil needs to comprehensively consider multiple factors such as equipment model, working environment, seasonal changes, etc. It is recommended that machine owners establish complete oil files and regularly test oil samples to achieve the best equipment protection effect.
