2 Answers
Changan CS55 uses 5w40 or 0w40 fully synthetic engine oil, with an oil capacity of approximately 4L. The Changan CS55 is a compact SUV 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, with a maximum power output of 115kw and a peak torque of 225nm. The transmission system is matched with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The body colors are primarily Dynamic Red and Starry Blue.
I've been driving the Changan CS55, and this car has specific requirements for engine oil. My family mainly uses it for urban commuting, and it has over 60,000 kilometers on the odometer. For every maintenance, I insist on using fully synthetic 5W-30 oil, such as mainstream brands like Shell or Mobil. Why is this recommended? Because its viscosity is moderate, suitable for both winter and summer, avoiding difficulties in cold starts or overheating ignition failures in summer. It's best to choose oil with API SP standards for better protection of turbocharged engines. I once tried semi-synthetic oil, but it resulted in louder engine noise and significantly higher fuel consumption. Now, I change the oil every 10,000 kilometers or six months—don’t delay to save money and risk bigger problems. Remember to check the oil level frequently. Here’s a tip before long trips: check the oil dipstick to avoid leaks and costly repairs!
