2. Mainstream forklift oil model comparison table
| Forklift type | Recommended oil model | Applicable temperature range | Oil change cycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel internal combustion forklift | 15W-40 CI-4 | -15℃~40℃ | 500 hours |
| Gasoline internal combustion forklift | 10W-30 SM | -20℃~35℃ | 300 hours |
| LPG forklift | 5W-40 SN | -30℃~45℃ | 400 hours |
3. Core elements of engine oil selection
1.Viscosity grade: In the SAE standard, the number before W represents low temperature fluidity, and the number after W represents high temperature viscosity. It is recommended to use models starting from 5W or 10W in the north in winter.
2.API quality level: Diesel engines should choose the C-start series (such as CI-4), and gasoline engines should choose the S-start series (such as SN). The current highest standard is SP/FA-4.
3.Special certification: Some brands of forklifts require OEM certification, such as Toyota T2/T3 standard, you need to check the equipment instructions.
4. Answers to recent hot questions
1.Does electric forklift require oil?Pure electric forklifts do not require engine oil, but the gearbox still requires 75W-90 GL-5 gear oil.
2.Changes in the National VI Forklift Oil: The new regulations require the use of low-ash engine oil (CJ-4+/CK-4), and the ash content must be <1.0%.
3.Risk of mixed oil: Different brands of engine oil additives may cause chemical reactions, and the amount of mixing should not exceed 10% in emergency situations.
5. Maintenance trend data (comparison in the past two years)
| years | All synthetic oil proportion | Long-term oil usage rate | Fault rate caused by wrong use of oil |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 42% | 28% | 17% |
| 2023 | 58% | 45% | 12% |
6. Expert advice
1. Check the status of the engine oil every quarter and replace it immediately if it finds emulsification or impurities.
2. It is recommended to use high viscosity engine oil for old equipment over 2000 hours (such as 20W-50)
3. Multi-shift production should shorten the oil change cycle by 20%.
4. Store spare engine oil to avoid light and moisture, and the shelf life after opening is 6 months
Through the above structured data analysis, it can be seen that the correct choice of engine oil model is crucial to extend the life of the forklift. It is recommended that users choose products that meet the standards based on the requirements of the equipment manual and in combination with local climatic conditions.
