What kind of engine oil should the Vezel use?
1 Answers
The official manual of the Vezel recommends engine oil models of 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 10W-30. Any engine oil model that meets these four specifications can be used. If you want to change the engine oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, and Total. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity, with 5W representing the ability to withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the better the oil can maintain its viscosity index at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high temperatures. The method for changing the Vezel's engine oil is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, and also allow the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and use an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a bottle of oil; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are any leaks, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
