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.

When selecting engine oil for the new Emgrand's engine characteristics, focus on two core indicators. First is viscosity - the manufacturer recommends 5W-30 as optimal, balancing both low-temperature fluidity and high-temperature protection. Second is the certification standard, which must meet API SN or higher. Through personal testing, I've observed clear differences between mineral and full synthetic oils - full synthetics maintain more stable oil films under high-temperature conditions, especially noticeable during summer when climbing hills with AC on, as engine noise is significantly reduced. For long-term use, full synthetic is recommended. Although about 100 RMB more expensive per change, the oil change interval can be extended to 10,000 km. When purchasing, look for GF-5 or ACEA certification marks on the packaging to avoid being tricked into buying lower-grade oil.

Using oil for the new Emgrand is actually quite straightforward. The vehicle manual clearly states that 5W-30 is the standard viscosity, covering a temperature range from -30°C to 40°C. For budget-conscious choices, semi-synthetic oil can be used, but full synthetic oil offers better engine cleanliness. The key is to change the oil on time—urban driving conditions suggest an oil change every 7,500 kilometers, or as early as 5,000 kilometers in heavy traffic. Always check the oil dipstick level during each maintenance; if it's below the minimum mark, top it up promptly. Never mix oils from different brands, as this can easily lead to sludge buildup and clog the oil passages. The safest option is to purchase products with anti-counterfeit labels from authorized channels.

The most critical aspect of new car maintenance is choosing the right engine oil. For the new Emgrand, it's recommended to use full synthetic oil for the first service. The 5W-30 viscosity is like a tailored suit for the engine - oil that's too thin provides insufficient high-temperature protection, while oil that's too thick increases fuel consumption. I particularly recommend SP-grade full synthetic oil for turbocharged models, as it offers better anti-deposit performance. In high-temperature summer regions, you can temporarily switch to 5W-40, but long-term use of 30 viscosity oil better matches the factory settings. When the oil color darkens, it's time to prepare for an oil change - new oil is an amber-colored transparent liquid. During oil changes, the mechanic's operation should be standardized, with the filling amount between 3.5-4 liters, as too much or too little can damage the engine.

Choosing engine oil should align with actual driving scenarios. For daily commuting with the new Emgrand, 5W-30 full synthetic oil offers the best balance between fuel economy and engine protection. For high-intensity use like ride-hailing services, upgrading to SP-grade oil and shortening the oil change interval is recommended. Northern car owners should particularly opt for 0W-grade oil in winter, ensuring reliable cold starts even at -25°C. During oil changes, don't just focus on the oil—also inspect the air filter and oil filter. My personal tests show that using ILSAC GF-6 compliant oil reduces engine carbon deposits by over 30%. Check the oil condition every six months to ensure driving safety.

Is the 1.2T engine powerful enough for the Sagitar?

From the specifications, this 1.2T engine delivers impressive power with 116 horsepower and 175N·m of torque. Such power output would be quite aggressive for compact or micro cars. However, the Sagitar, as an A+ segment sedan, has larger dimensions resulting in higher aerodynamic drag, and its body mass isn't light either. While it performs adequately for city driving at moderate speeds, it may feel somewhat underpowered on highways. From a technical perspective of the 1.2T engine: 1. Electronically Controlled Turbo Wastegate: The Sagitar's 1.2T engine reintroduces the electronically controlled turbo wastegate. The word "reintroduces" indicates that Volkswagen had previously used but later abandoned this technology. The reason for abandonment was that the electronic control system near the turbocharger had to endure extremely high temperatures, leading to frequent failures. Now that this technology is being used again, given Volkswagen's premium positioning, any failure in the electronic components could render the entire system inoperable. 2. Timing Belt: On another note, this 1.2T engine employs a timing belt. While timing belts are subject to aging, they can also be designed for lifetime maintenance-free operation. Compared to timing chains, timing belts have their advantages, notably quieter operation.

What is ROVELO tire?

ROVELO is a domestic tire brand under Sailun Jinyu Group Co., Ltd. The company has modern tire manufacturing plants in Qingdao, Dongying, Shenyang in China and Tay Ninh in Vietnam, with a natural rubber deep processing base in Thailand, and sales networks and logistics centers in Canada, the UK, and other regions serving the Americas and Europe. Daily tire maintenance tips are as follows: 1. Regularly check tire wear. Generally, car tires can travel 50,000-100,000 kilometers, so it is necessary to regularly check the tire wear condition. If the wear is severe, the tire needs to be replaced. 2. Clean tires frequently. If the tires travel on muddy roads, there will be a lot of dirt. Too many impurities on the wheels will affect driving safety, so the tires also need to be cleaned when washing the car, otherwise the wheels will wear out faster. 3. Wheel alignment is needed. Wheel alignment can improve tire performance and ensure normal vehicle control. Poor wheel alignment can lead to irregular tread wear and shorten tire life. 4. Regularly check inflation and stabilize tire pressure. The wheels bear the weight of the car body, and the pressure of the four wheels needs to be consistent, otherwise the steering wheel will become unstable. Therefore, inflation should be sufficient, and the pressure needs to be stable. 5. The driver should drive gently and have excellent skills. Car maintenance includes the owner themselves. The owner needs to drive carefully and patiently, otherwise severe emergency braking will cause rapid tire wear. 6. Keep the spare tire dry. The spare tire can be used in case of an accident, but it also needs good maintenance. If there is too much moisture, the tire will be damaged.
