What kind of engine oil is suitable for the Changan CS55?
2 Answers
Changan CS55 can use 5W40 full synthetic engine oil or 0W40 full synthetic engine oil. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Qualified engine oil can reduce wear on engine components and extend the engine's service life. The Changan CS55 is an SUV model under Changan Automobile, with body dimensions of 4500mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1690mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. In terms of power, the vehicle is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged all-aluminum engine, model JL476ZQCD. For body colors, it primarily offers Dynamic Red and Starry Blue as the main options.
I've been driving the Changan CS55 for several years, and routine maintenance has been quite straightforward. For engine oil, I recommend using a full synthetic 5W-30—its moderate viscosity handles seasonal changes well, especially protecting the engine during summer heat or winter cold starts. Don’t skimp by using mineral oil; its shorter change intervals mean frequent trips to the shop and higher costs. I usually opt for brands like Shell or Castrol, purchased through official channels, changing it every 7,000–10,000 km—it’s actually more cost-effective and hassle-free in the long run. Always glance at the user manual for specific guidance to avoid issues like increased noise or fuel consumption from using the wrong oil. Remember, regular upkeep is key to keeping your car in top shape.
