What brand of engine oil should be used for the Lamando 230?
2 Answers
The Lamando 230 uses Mobil engine oil. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Taking the 2021 Lamando as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4615mm, width 1826mm, height 1425mm, with a wheelbase of 2656mm and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. The 2021 Lamando is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 96kW and a maximum torque of 225Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It features a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
For the Lingdu 230, I recommend using engine oil that meets the Volkswagen VW 502 00 standard. In terms of brand preference, you can prioritize fully synthetic oils such as Castrol Edge or Mobil ESP series. Based on my experience, a 5W-30 viscosity is most suitable for daily driving, ensuring smooth engine operation with low noise and quick lubrication during cold starts to prevent wear. Castrol is a reliable brand choice, and viscosity can be adjusted seasonally—0W-40 can also be used during hot summers. The oil change interval is typically every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers, and it should not exceed one year, as degraded oil quality can affect performance. Remember to replace the oil filter simultaneously, opting for compatible filters from reputable brands to ensure effective filtration. In summary, specifications come first, brand second—just follow the manual's recommendations, and you'll be fine.
