Ride-hailing drivers need to change oil regularly to maintain performance

1. Which type of oil is suitable for technology ride-hailing?

1.1. Why do tech ride-hailing drivers need to change oil regularly?

Thanks to its flexibility and relatively stable income, ride-hailing has become a very popular profession today. It is estimated that there are over 600,000 technology drivers nationwide, accounting for about 0.6% of Vietnam's population.

According to Repsol Vietnam lubricant distributor Huynh Chau, technology drivers typically work an average of 8-9 hours daily, covering a total distance of approximately 100 km.

Although most ride-hailing motorcycles mainly operate within cities and do not travel far, with the work intensity of 20 to 30 trips per day and constant stopping to pick up passengers, the motorcycle oil will quickly degrade.

Technology drivers must move continuously with high intensity.

Therefore, to keep vehicles performing optimally, it is essential to check and change the oil regularly and to choose products from reputable brands like Repsol lubricants. Especially in these days of rapid fuel price increases, changing oil on schedule will help reduce engine friction and save fuel effectively.

Conversely, if the oil runs low or deteriorates, the motorcycle risks stalling, breaking down in the middle of the road, degrading quickly, and damaging internal components.

1.2. What type of oil should ride-hailing drivers use?

To fit the nature of the ride-hailing job, you need to choose an oil that meets the following requirements:

• Affordable price. Choosing cheaper oil products like Repsol mineral oil will help you save costs and maximize profits.
• Guaranteed quality. For technology drivers, motorcycles are not just a means of transport but also a livelihood tool. Since the vehicle must operate continuously, it is crucial to use high-quality oil to lubricate and protect the engine effectively.
• Fuel-efficient. You should opt for oil types that save fuel to reduce fuel costs.

Affordability is the primary requirement for oil used by
