What brand of engine oil is used for the Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 uses engine oil brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, Total, Valvoline, and Great Wall. The following are the requirements for the engine oil specifications: 1. General conditions: Roewe RX5 uses fully synthetic 5W-30 engine oil. 2. Special conditions: If the temperature in your area is low, you should use fully synthetic 0W-30 engine oil. 3. Capacity: 5L of engine oil is required for an oil change. Note: 1. The RX5 engine is equipped with a 1.5T or 2.0T direct-injection turbocharged engine. Using engine oil below the old specification may slightly cause engine noise, and in severe cases, it may lead to engine seizure. 2. Pay close attention to the engine oil specification when changing the oil.
The Roewe RX5 recommends using 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil. The original manual usually does not specify a single brand but requires compliance with specifications to protect the engine. Owners can choose based on preference, with common brands such as Shell Helix series, which resists high temperatures and oxidation, reducing engine wear; Mobil 1 is also a good option, improving throttle response. Brand differences are minimal; the key is whether they meet API or ACEA standards. Using the wrong oil may lead to increased fuel consumption or louder engine noise. It is recommended to change the oil every six months or 8,000 kilometers to extend the vehicle's lifespan. In daily car usage, I often remind friends not to save money by using off-brand oils. High-quality oil may be more expensive, but it saves on repair costs.
