What kind of engine oil should be used for Maxus V80?
2 Answers
SAIC Maxus V80 can use 5w30 full synthetic engine oil. The performance of engine oil includes the following three aspects: 1. Lubricity: Under various conditions, engine oil reduces friction, slows down wear and prevents metal sintering. The viscosity of engine oil is an important indicator for evaluating lubricity; 2. Low-temperature operability: Engine oil ensures that the engine can start easily and supply oil reliably under low-temperature conditions. The low-temperature operability of engine oil includes two aspects: facilitating low-temperature starting and reducing starting wear; 3. Oxidation resistance: It determines whether the engine oil is prone to deterioration during use. The tendency to corrode parts and form deposits is an important factor in determining the service life of engine oil.
I recommend Maxus V80 owners prioritize using full synthetic engine oil, especially the 5W-30 viscosity grade, as it's specifically designed for diesel engines, providing superior lubrication and cold-start protection. Don't underestimate the importance of viscosity selection - the 5W-30 flows well at low temperatures in winter for quick engine starts without wear, while maintaining stable viscosity during summer heat. Factory-recommended brands like Shell or Mobil certified oils can avoid counterfeit issues. The replacement interval is suggested at 10,000 km or every six months, adjustable based on driving habits (can be extended for mostly highway driving). Don't forget regular oil level checks, and clean the oil filter with each oil change - this maintenance routine can extend engine life by several years. Choosing cheap mineral oils may lead to carbon buildup and increased fuel consumption, which would be counterproductive.
