What kind of engine oil does the Vision X6 require?
2 Answers
The Vision X6 requires full synthetic engine oil. Here is relevant information about full synthetic engine oil: 1. Why choose full synthetic engine oil: Full synthetic engine oil is a high-grade lubricant among engine oils. It is derived from ethylene and propylene dispersed from natural gas or gas in crude oil, which then undergoes polymerization, catalysis, and other complex chemical reactions to form a lubricating fluid composed of large molecules. It provides excellent lubrication and can extend the engine's service life. 2. Full synthetic engine oil replacement cycle: The replacement cycle for full synthetic engine oil is 12 months, with a mileage of approximately 10,000 kilometers. Of course, the engine oil replacement cycle is also related to the engine's usage conditions. For example, if the engine has minor oil burning issues, the oil change interval should be shortened accordingly.
I've been driving my Geely Vision X6 for over three years, always using 5W-30 engine oil for maintenance. The manual clearly states this viscosity is most suitable - it protects the engine during cold winter starts and maintains lubrication in summer heat. I've changed to fully synthetic oils like Shell Helix Ultra or Mobil Super several times, and the power delivery remains smooth even after 8,000 km. While mineral oils are cheaper, they aren't suitable for frequent long-distance drivers due to poorer high-temperature stability. Last maintenance, I met a fellow owner who mistakenly used 10W-40 oil and his fuel consumption increased by 0.5L/100km immediately. Don't exceed 7,000 km between oil changes, especially for vehicles frequently driven on dirt roads as the oil filter gets dirty faster. Always remind the mechanic to check the oil pan drain plug - an oil leak would be costly.
