What kind of engine oil should be used for MG ZS maintenance?
1 Answers
MG ZS engine oil is provided by SAIC Group and is Kunlun brand oil. For the 1.0T model, the manufacturer recommends using SN/GF-5 5W-30 engine oil. In lower temperature environments, SAE 0W-30 grade oil is suggested. For the 1.5L model, the official recommendation is SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30 grade oil, while SAE 0W-30 or 0W-20 grade oil is advised for colder conditions. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function of engine oil: Engine oil lubricates and reduces friction in the engine, assists in cooling, provides sealing to prevent leaks, protects against rust and corrosion, and acts as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Choosing the right oil and changing it regularly helps maintain the engine in good condition and extends its service life. 2. Choosing engine oil: The most expensive oil isn't necessarily the best choice. Instead, the correct oil should be selected based on the characteristics of the car's engine and the driver's habits. Engine oil can also be categorized by its suitability for winter or summer use. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, when temperatures are higher, oils with better low-temperature viscosity grades are not necessary.
