What kind of engine oil is best for GAC Trumpchi GS3?
1 Answers
Trumpchi GS3 uses 5W30 engine oil, which has good low-temperature fluidity, can be used in various weather conditions, and has excellent lubrication capabilities. It is the most commonly used type of engine oil in the market. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention is needed to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in Trumpchi GS3 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back to the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine for about 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply some oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add 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 dipstick to check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
