What kind of engine oil is used in the new Emgrand?
2 Answers
The new Emgrand uses engine oil with the specification 10W-30. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. 10W-30 is the SAE standard viscosity rating for engine oil. The 'W' stands for WINTER, and the number before the 'W' indicates the oil's flow performance at low temperatures—the smaller the number, the better the starting performance in cold conditions. The number after the 'W' represents the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., its resistance to thinning)—the higher the number, the better the oil's high-temperature stability. In terms of appearance: The new Geely Emgrand's exterior design follows the family style, featuring a water ripple-inspired front grille. It offers a stronger planar visual effect. With a deep space gray base color, it exudes a strong sense of technology and modernity. In terms of configuration: The new Geely Emgrand comes standard with ABS (anti-lock braking), EBD (electronic brake-force distribution), brake assist, traction control, ESC (electronic stability control), driver/passenger airbags, tire pressure monitoring, cruise control, auto hold, hill start assist, rearview camera, automatic headlights, and more.
I've gained quite a bit of practical experience in choosing engine oil for my New Emgrand. The official manual recommends 5W-30 viscosity oil as the most suitable. For three years, I've been using fully synthetic SN-grade oil, and the engine runs exceptionally quiet. The 5W offers good low-temperature fluidity during cold winter starts, while also providing adequate high-temperature protection in summer. Brands like Shell or Castrol from major manufacturers are reliable choices, but beware of counterfeit products. I change the oil every 8,000 kilometers and noticed that timely oil changes can reduce fuel consumption by about half a liter. If you frequently drive long distances or live in extremely cold northern regions, consider switching to 0W-30 oil for better low-temperature performance. Remember to replace the oil filter simultaneously during oil changes – this step is most easily overlooked.
