What kind of engine oil should be used for Changan CS35?
2 Answers
For the naturally aspirated engine models of this car, fully synthetic engine oil with 5w30 or 0w30 can be used, while models equipped with turbocharged engines should use fully synthetic engine oil with 5w40 or 0w40. Here are some introductions about Changan CS35: 1. Changan CS35 is a compact SUV, which is equipped with two engines, one is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. 2. The front suspension of this car uses MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses torsion beam non-independent suspension. This car has a very high cost performance.
I've been driving the Changan CS35 for several years. This car recommends using 5W-30 viscosity oil, and I've always used fully synthetic oil. It feels like the engine responds faster and the noise is much less. I remember the owner's manual emphasizes that the oil must meet API SN or SP standards, otherwise it will affect fuel consumption and lifespan. The oil needs to be changed every 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers, otherwise sludge buildup can accelerate engine wear. I prefer Shell or Mobil brand oils for their high cost-performance ratio and stable performance. During regular maintenance, the technician also checks the oil dipstick to see if the viscosity is normal. For cold starts in winter, 5W-30 oil is better than thicker viscosity oils for quicker starts and smoother driving. It's suitable for both new and old cars, and timely oil changes can keep your beloved car running well for over 100,000 kilometers without major issues.
