Oil specifications for B6E engine

SAE 10W-40
API SJ

Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the B6E engine.

Engine B6E commonly faces issues like timing belt wear, oil leaks, and ignition system faults. Regularly inspect and replace the timing belt every 60,000–90,000 km to prevent catastrophic engine damage. Check for oil leaks around valve cover gaskets and camshaft seals; replace seals promptly to avoid oil loss and contamination. Ignition coils and spark plugs may degrade, causing misfires—replace spark plugs every 30,000 km and test coils if rough idling occurs. Maintain cooling system health to prevent overheating, which can warp the cylinder head. Use quality oil and adhere to scheduled maintenance to extend engine life and reliability.
