What kind of oil does the Orlando use?
1 Answers
The original oil for the Orlando is 5W30. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose from brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, and Total. The viscosity of the 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. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The second number represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. A higher number means the oil can maintain its viscosity better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high temperatures. The method for changing the oil in the Orlando is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing; start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; add the new oil through the engine valve cover filler port, usually filling about three-quarters of the oil container; start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter, and repair if necessary; after stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check that the oil level is within the standard range.
