What kind of engine oil is best for Geely Emgrand?
2 Answers
Geely Emgrand is recommended to use 5w40 engine oil, which functions to lubricate and reduce wear on the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and absorb shock. Taking the 2020 Geely Emgrand GL as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of 4725mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1478mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, and a curb weight of 1335kg. The 2020 Geely Emgrand GL features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 141PS, a maximum power of 104kW, and a maximum torque of 235Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for several years and found that choosing the right engine oil is particularly important. The Emgrand's engine generally recommends using 5W-30 full synthetic oil, such as Shell or Mobil, because it offers excellent lubrication, high-temperature resistance, and can extend engine life. For city driving, I suggest changing the oil every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers. If you frequently drive on highways, you can extend the interval to 10,000 kilometers. Don't try to save money by using mineral oil—the Emgrand's engine has high precision, and full synthetic oil provides better protection while also saving some fuel costs. When selecting oil, check the API standard on the label—it should be SN or SP grade. During maintenance, don’t forget to check the oil level. Starting the car is easier in winter, and high summer temperatures won’t be a problem. Using the right oil long-term reduces minor issues and makes the car run smoother.
