What is the best engine oil for the New Bora 1.6?

[Lois]

The original engine oil specification for the New Bora 1.6L is SM5W-40 semi-synthetic oil. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose reputable international brands such as Shell, Castrol, and Mobil, or domestic brands like Great Wall, Kunlun, and Tongyi. The official manual for the New Bora 1.6L recommends engine oil with a specification of SM or higher, 5W-40, or oil that meets the VW50200 standard. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the better it maintains viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the New Bora 1.6L is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out. Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill up to three-quarters of the oil container. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
