What is the best engine oil for Chery Arrizo 5?
2 Answers
Arrizo 5 originally uses SM grade 10W-40 engine oil. If the temperature in your area is relatively low, you should switch to 5W-40 grade engine oil. Below is an introduction to the engine oil for Arrizo 5: 1. 10W40 refers to the SAE standard viscosity value, which indicates that this oil is a multi-grade oil. 2. W stands for WINTER. The number before W represents the oil's 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. The larger the number, the better the oil's stability at high temperatures. 3. The smaller the number before W, the lower the oil's viscosity at low temperatures, the better its low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the minimum applicable temperature.
I've been driving a Chery Arrizo 5 for several years, and experience has taught me that oil selection is crucial. The manual usually recommends synthetic oils like 5W-30 or 5W-40, with brands such as Shell and Mobil offering high stability. Climate affects viscosity preference—using 5W-40 in hot summers provides better protection, while 5W-30 offers more timely lubrication in cold winters. Remember not to skimp on quality by buying inferior oil, as it accelerates engine wear and increases fuel consumption. Personally, I change the oil every 5,000 kilometers and check the oil level regularly, which extends engine life and saves on repair costs. Driving habits also matter; if you frequently drive on highways, fully synthetic oil lasts longer and is safer. Developing good habits means fewer car troubles and smoother driving.
