What kind of engine oil is suitable for Jiangling Yuhu 7?
2 Answers
Yuhu can use Castrol engine oil, which is a world-renowned expert in lubricants. Castrol takes technological pioneering, winning, passion, and outstanding performance as its core values, which still represent Castrol and are the core strength of its success. Here is some related information: 1. Engine oil: Engine oil can lubricate and reduce wear, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leakage, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is known as the 'blood' of the car. 2. Lubricant: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricant, determining its basic properties, while additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of base oil performance, giving it some new properties, making it an important part of lubricant.
I used to drive a Jiangling Yuhu 7 and used 5W-30 full synthetic oil, which meets the API CJ-4 standard recommended in the manual, making it particularly suitable for protecting diesel engines. Synthetic oil is more stable at high temperatures, reducing engine wear, especially during summer or long-distance driving. I change the oil every 8,000 kilometers, opting for brands like Great Wall or Mobil for their good cost-performance ratio and availability. Insufficient oil can affect power and fuel efficiency, so regularly check the dipstick to ensure the oil level is adequate. If the vehicle frequently carries heavy loads, it’s advisable to shorten the oil change interval to every 7,000 kilometers, as this keeps the engine running quieter and smoother. In short, following the manufacturer’s recommendations for oil selection is always the right choice, ensuring the vehicle’s durability.
