What kind of engine oil should be used for Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 uses 5W30 fully synthetic engine oil. If the temperature in the area is relatively low, it is recommended to use 0W30 fully synthetic engine oil. If the vehicle's engine is a turbocharged engine, the lubrication requirements for the engine oil are higher because turbocharging operates at high temperatures and high speeds. In this case, fully synthetic engine oil must be used. The interior of the Roewe RX5 also adopts the Rhythm design concept, with an overall design style that is simple and fashionable. The center console panel is wrapped in leather and features a red and black dual-color scheme. The vehicle offers a dark black interior option, complemented by aluminum interior trim strips that run throughout the cockpit.
I run an auto repair shop and have seen plenty of Roewe RX5s. The factory recommends using 5W-30 full synthetic oil. SAIC has recommended Castrol Edge, but Mobil 1 or Shell Helix Ultra are also fine. The 1.5T engine takes about 4 liters, while the 2.0T requires around 5.5 liters. Turbocharged engines have higher oil requirements - never cheap out with mineral oil as insufficient high-temperature protection can cause cylinder scoring. In hot southern summers, 0W-40 viscosity works too for smoother cold starts. Recommend changing every 8,000 km or 6 months, or every 7,000 km in heavy traffic cities. The oil cap shows markings like 'SM/GF-4' - always match this specification when selecting oil.
