Gasoline additive is an abbreviation for fuel additive, which generally also includes diesel additives. It is designed to compensate for the inherent quality issues of fuel and the limitations in automotive mechanical manufacturing, thereby enabling gasoline engines to overcome cold shock effects and crevice effects, as well as to remove carbon deposits on intake valves and fuel injectors. As a vehicle continues to operate, substances such as sludge and carbon deposits can form in the throttle body, fuel injectors, cylinders, and other parts of the engine, which can affect the normal operation of the vehicle. If the presence of sludge and carbon deposits is ignored, they can gradually erode engine power, reduce fuel economy, increase emissions of environmentally harmful substances, and lead to a series of engine malfunctions.

How are motor oil grades classified?

In the motor oil industry, oil grades are classified based on quality grades and viscosity grades. The quality grade uses the classification standard established by API (American Petroleum Institute). The API standard is the most authoritative motor oil quality classification standard in the industry. The viscosity grade uses the classification by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). The classification of motor oil grades is as follows: 1. API Quality Classification: 1. The "S" series represents oils for gasoline engines, with specifications including: SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, SN. 2. The "C" series represents oils for diesel engines, with specifications including: CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4. 3. When both "S" and "C" letters are present, it indicates that the oil is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines. From "SA" to "SN," each subsequent letter indicates better performance than the previous one. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the higher the quality grade, making the motor oil more effective. In international brands, most motor oil grades are SF or above. 2. SAE Viscosity Classification: 10W-40 is its SAE standard viscosity value. This viscosity value first indicates that the oil is a multi-grade oil. "W" stands for WINTER, and the number before "W" represents the flow performance at low temperatures. The smaller the number, the better the starting performance at low temperatures. The number after "W" represents the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., the likelihood of thinning). The larger the number, the better the oil's stability at high temperatures.

What kind of engine oil should be used for Roewe RX5?

Roewe RX5 uses 5W30 fully synthetic engine oil. If the temperature in the area is relatively low, it is recommended to use 0W30 fully synthetic engine oil. If the vehicle's engine is a turbocharged engine, the lubrication requirements for the engine oil are higher because turbocharging operates at high temperatures and high speeds. In this case, fully synthetic engine oil must be used. The interior of the Roewe RX5 also adopts the Rhythm design concept, with an overall design style that is simple and fashionable. The center console panel is wrapped in leather and features a red and black dual-color scheme. The vehicle offers a dark black interior option, complemented by aluminum interior trim strips that run throughout the cockpit.
