Can the Luxgen U6 use 5w30 engine oil?
2 Answers
The Luxgen U6 can use 5w30 engine oil. During maintenance, if fully synthetic oil is used, consider changing it every 10,000 kilometers; if semi-synthetic oil is used, consider changing it every 7,500 kilometers; if mineral oil is used, change it every 5,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function of engine oil: Engine oil can lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. It is known as the 'blood' of a car. Choosing the right engine oil and changing it regularly can maintain the engine in good condition and extend its lifespan. 2. Choosing engine oil: When selecting engine oil, the most expensive option is not necessarily the best. Instead, the correct approach is to choose the appropriate oil based on the characteristics of the car's engine and usual driving habits. Engine oil can also be categorized based on winter and summer use. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, when temperatures are high, there is no need to select oil with a superior low-temperature viscosity grade.
Regarding the use of 5w30 oil for the Luxgen U6, I think it depends on what your car's manual says. 5w30 oil has good fluidity at low temperatures, making winter starts smoother; at high temperatures, the 30 viscosity protects engine components and reduces friction. My friends with Luxgen have used it, as long as the manual doesn’t prohibit it. However, if it doesn’t match, such as using oil with too high viscosity, it may lead to increased fuel consumption and slow starts. I recommend checking the manual or confirming with a 4S shop before making any changes. For daily city or highway driving, 5w30 is suitable, but it must be paired with regular maintenance, changing the oil and filter every six months. If the manual recommends a specific viscosity, it’s best to follow it to avoid damaging the engine.
