What kind of oil does Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 use?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 uses 5W30 fully synthetic engine oil. For older vehicles with higher mileage, 5W40 fully synthetic oil can also be selected. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. The Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4645mm in length, 1880mm in width, and 1690mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2715mm. In terms of power, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 is equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 170 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, with the engine reaching its maximum power output at 5500 rpm.
After driving my Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 for several years, I've consistently used 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil, finding it provides the best lubrication and protection for the engine. The 1.6T engine in the AX7 requires this viscosity grade to adapt to various temperature changes, especially to prevent wear during cold starts in winter. I recommend choosing brands that meet the PSA B71 standard, such as Total or Shell, with oil changes approximately every 10,000 kilometers. Using cheaper oil leads to increased engine noise and quicker power loss, ultimately costing more in the long run. In summary, regular oil changes with the right specification keep your car running smoothly and save you headaches.
