What is the best engine oil for Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 is best suited for 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil. Here are some extended details: 1. Introduction to engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³(kg/m³). It serves multiple functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. 2. Extended information: The engine is the heart of a car, containing many metal surfaces that move against each other in friction. These components operate at high speeds under harsh conditions, with working temperatures reaching 400°C to 600°C. In such extreme operating conditions, only qualified lubricating oil can reduce wear on engine parts and extend their service life. Engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into mineral oils and synthetic oils based on their base oil (vegetable oils are not considered due to their scarcity).
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for several years and always use 5W-30 full synthetic oil, which feels quite suitable. The engine noise is significantly reduced when driving in high summer temperatures, and cold starts in winter are effortless, indicating the oil viscosity perfectly matches the engine's needs. If you frequently drive on highways or long distances, using this specification can protect the engine from premature wear, offering peace of mind and good value. I recommend brands like Shell or Mobil, as their quality is assured. Also, don't skimp by using mineral oil; synthetic oil lasts longer and has better cleaning properties, allowing you to go 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers between changes, avoiding frequent trips to the repair shop. During routine maintenance, I check the oil level myself and top it up if it's low, keeping the engine running smoothly.
