What is the best engine oil for Geely Vision?
2 Answers
According to the manufacturer's manual requirements, Geely Vision should use engine oil of the following grades under different conditions. Here are the specific instructions: 1. Summer: 20W-50, 15W-40 - API SJ or SL multi-grade oil. 2. Winter: 10W-30, 5W-30 - API SJ or SL multi-grade oil. The "0W-30" on the engine oil packaging label is the viscosity grade of the oil. This viscosity grade is classified according to the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standard. The "W" stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, the lower the ambient temperature it can be used in, and the better the protection for the engine during cold starts. The higher the number after it, the higher the viscosity of the oil at high temperatures, and the better the lubrication effect on the engine.
For the Geely Vision, I've always thought that synthetic or semi-synthetic 5W-30 oil is quite suitable. My car is an older model Vision, mostly driven in urban areas. After using this oil, the engine noise has reduced, and it starts much faster. Synthetic oil performs well under high temperatures, so there's no worry about overheating in summer traffic jams, and it ensures quick starts without hesitation in winter. The key is to choose API SN grade or above to ensure proper cleaning and lubrication. Brands like Shell or Mobil are good choices, reasonably priced, and only need to be changed twice a year. Avoid mineral oil—it's cheaper but requires more frequent changes, costing more in the long run. Also, check the car manual for recommendations, as there might be differences between model years. In short, choosing the right oil can extend engine life, make driving quieter, and save fuel. Try it once, and you'll notice the difference.
