What kind of engine oil does the Refine S3 use?

[AmirFitz]

Refine S3 uses 5w30 or 0w30 engine oil. The 'w' in the engine oil model represents winter, the number before 'w' represents the low-temperature flow performance of the engine oil, and the number after 'w' represents the high-temperature viscosity of the engine oil. The Refine S3 is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4345mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1640mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2560mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seater SUV with a 6-speed manual transmission. The engine of the Refine S3 is a 1.5L L4 with natural aspiration, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116ps and a maximum torque of 150nm, with a top speed of 165 kilometers per hour.

I just bought a new JAC Refine S3 and finally understood the engine oil thing after reading the manual. It recommends using 5W-30 full synthetic oil, or switching to 10W-40 in hot weather. I've tried both - the 5W-30 makes winter starts super smooth with less engine strain. When summer temperatures rise, the 10W-40 provides better protection as its oil film doesn't thin out easily, giving me peace of mind when driving on mountain roads. I recommend sticking with premium brands like Shell or Mobil for consistent quality - don't cheap out with mineral oils as they accelerate engine wear. I change oil every 8,000 km while checking oil levels, and this routine keeps my car running quietly and fuel-efficiently.

Having driven the JAC Refine S3 for five years, I've gained solid experience with engine oil. The manual specifies using either 5W-30 or 10W-40 synthetic oil. For city driving, I stick to 5W-30 as it maintains moderate temperatures and offers better fuel efficiency. On long trips, I switch to 10W-40 which noticeably reduces engine noise. I always remind friends not to arbitrarily switch to other viscosities like 0W-20, which might not suit the S3's engine. I recommend brands like Castrol or Total, with oil change intervals between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers depending on driving habits. Remember to regularly check the dipstick visually – if the oil looks too dark, change it immediately. This habit has saved me considerable maintenance costs.

The JAC Refine S3 SUV is easy to handle when it comes to engine oil. I prefer using 5W-30 synthetic oil for daily commuting—it's hassle-free with moderate viscosity and solid protection. It flows quickly in cold weather for smooth starts and handles high temperatures well in summer. If you frequently drive on highways or carry heavy loads, consider 10W-40 for thicker oil film protection. Choose API SN or higher-grade oil; brand doesn't matter much, just avoid outdated models. Recommended oil change interval: inspect every 6 months or 8,000 km—keeping the engine clean ensures stable performance.
