What kind of engine oil is suitable for Dongfeng Peugeot 3008?
1 Answers
Dongfeng Peugeot 3008 is best suited for the original 5W30 engine oil, which is an all-season oil with excellent low-temperature flow performance. It reduces engine resistance, leading to faster acceleration and better fuel efficiency. For later maintenance, you can choose from brands like Shell or Castrol. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so it's important to pay attention to its performance under both 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, ensuring smoother cold starts. The second number represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. A higher value means the oil maintains its viscosity better at high temperatures, which can be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in a Dongfeng Peugeot 3008 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the drain plug and collect the old oil in a container until no more oil flows out. Start the engine for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain. Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add new oil through the engine valve cover's oil filler port, typically filling up to three-quarters of the oil container. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for leaks around the drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check that the oil level is within the standard range.
