What kind of engine oil is suitable for Dongfeng Fengguang ix5?
2 Answers
Fengguang ix5 can use 5W-40 engine oil. More information about Fengguang ix5 is as follows: 1. In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, so it is necessary to use higher-performance engine oil to protect the engine. 2. Compared to a naturally aspirated engine, the turbocharged engine in Fengguang ix5 requires higher-performance engine oil for lubrication, as the turbocharged engine generates more powerful power during operation, which can cause severe wear on internal engine components.
My Dongfeng Fengguang ix5 has been running for over three years with four or five oil changes, and I've learned quite a few lessons. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil is the top choice, such as Castrol Edge or Mobil ESP series, which provide excellent engine protection under high temperatures and can extend maintenance intervals. Always check the dipstick before each oil change—if the color turns black or the viscosity thins, replace it as soon as possible. Don't skimp by using semi-synthetic oil, especially in hot summer areas where the engine is prone to wear. I once tried a domestic brand and noticed a drop in power after just a few months. The maintenance shop recommends changing the oil every 8,000 kilometers, and combining it with an oil filter replacement saves money. If you do it yourself, just buy quality oil and a filter tool—it won’t cost more than 200 yuan per session. In short, choosing the right oil makes the car more durable and the driving experience smoother.
