What kind of oil is suitable for Geely Emgrand?
2 Answers
Geely Emgrand can add engine oil according to the requirements of the manual, or use 5W-40 engine oil. Different viscosity grades of lubricating oil should be selected for different ambient temperatures and vehicle conditions. It is best to choose multi-grade oil, which is suitable for all seasons. The following is an introduction to the types of automobile engine oil: 1. High-temperature type (such as SAE20-SAE50): The number indicates the viscosity at 100 degrees, and the larger the number, the higher the viscosity. 2. Low-temperature type (such as SAEOW-SAE25W): W means it is only used in winter. The smaller the number, the lower the viscosity and the better the low-temperature fluidity. 3. All-weather type (such as SAE15W/40, 10W/40, 5W/50): Indicates that the viscosity grades at low temperatures meet the requirements of SAE15W, 10W, and 5W respectively, and the viscosity grades at high temperatures meet the requirements of SAE40 and 50 respectively, belonging to the winter-summer universal type.
I've been using a Geely Emgrand for several years, and I always prioritize checking the owner's manual recommendations when adding engine oil. It typically suggests synthetic oils like the 5W-30 viscosity grade. This type of oil performs stably during cold starts in hot weather, protecting the engine and reducing wear. I prefer using full-synthetic brands such as Castrol or Shell. Although they are more expensive, they are durable and can extend the oil change interval up to 10,000 kilometers. Avoid using mineral oils or lower-grade oils casually, as they can shorten the engine's lifespan and increase maintenance costs. If you lose the manual, you can visit a 4S shop or check the official website for recommendations. I've also noticed that the frequency of oil changes depends on driving habits. If you frequently encounter city traffic jams, check the oil level every 5,000 kilometers to ensure there's no oil shortage and prevent malfunctions. Choosing the right oil can improve power response and fuel efficiency, saving fuel and ensuring safety.
