What kind of engine oil should be used for Geely Vision?
2 Answers
Geely Vision requires engine oil with API quality grade: SL grade or above; SAE-5W-30 (SAE-10W-40 and above for tropical regions). Here is some extended knowledge about engine oil: 1. Classification: Mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, fully synthetic oil. 2. Lubrication effect: Mineral oil has the worst effect, fully synthetic oil has the best effect, and semi-synthetic oil is in between. 3. Oil change interval: Mineral oil is generally changed every 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every 7,500 kilometers, and fully synthetic oil every 10,000 kilometers.
For the Geely Vision, I personally pay close attention to oil selection when driving it. Generally, 5W-30 synthetic oil is recommended due to its moderate viscosity, which suits the modern gasoline engine of the Vision. The 5W indicates strong low-temperature fluidity, ensuring quick engine protection during cold starts, while the 30 signifies high-temperature protection to prevent wear. I would suggest using oil with API SM or SN certification, from brands like Shell or Mobil. Full synthetic oils offer superior durability, allowing oil change intervals to extend to 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. Avoid using thicker oils like 15W-40, as they can significantly increase fuel consumption. Regular oil level checks are crucial, with changes recommended every six months or 5,000 kilometers, including the oil filter replacement, to ensure smooth long-term operation.
