What kind of engine oil is suitable for the Changan CS55?
3 Answers
Changan CS55 can use synthetic engine oil, and the recommended oil filling amount is about 4L. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance, giving it certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil. 2. The Changan CS55 is equipped with a turbocharged engine. The headlights present a sharp design style, and the polygonal grille is paired with silver trim, giving the front of the car a strong sense of power. The car's body dimensions are 4500mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1690mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm, making its body size moderate in its class.
I have been driving the Changan CS55 for over three years and found that the most suitable engine oil is 5W-30 full synthetic oil. The manufacturer recommends this viscosity in the user manual, which is particularly suitable for China's seasonal changes. It provides quick lubrication during cold starts and protects the engine from wear. I usually use Shell or Castrol brands, which offer stable performance and low fuel consumption. If the wrong oil is chosen, such as 10W-40, it may increase friction and affect acceleration performance. The recommended maintenance interval is every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers, along with checking the oil level and cleanliness. Regular maintenance can extend the engine's lifespan, and don’t neglect winter checks to avoid poor oil fluidity in low temperatures.
As a driver who frequently travels long distances, I believe choosing engine oil should consider driving conditions. The Changan CS55 engine is matched with 5W-30 synthetic oil, which maintains viscosity at high temperatures and ensures smooth starts in cold weather. Full synthetic oil is more durable than semi-synthetic, especially reducing wear under high loads. During maintenance, pay attention to the oil color - it's time to change when it turns black. Wrong choices can increase fuel consumption or even damage piston rings. I recommend checking every six months or 7,500 km, using factory-certified oil for optimal compatibility. From an economic perspective, premium oil saves fuel costs and proves more cost-effective long-term.
