What kind of oil should be added to the Lamando 230?
2 Answers
The Lamando 230 should use 5w30 fully synthetic oil, and 0w30 fully synthetic oil can also be used. Engine oil is the lubricant used by the engine, composed of base oil and additives. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance. The Lamando 230 is a compact car with a length of 4615 mm, a width of 1826 mm, a height of 1425 mm, and a wheelbase of 2656 mm.
As an owner of the Lamando 230, I have always maintained it personally and found that adding engine oil is a routine yet crucial task. I recommend using synthetic oil, such as 5W-30 or 5W-40 viscosity, which must comply with Volkswagen's VW 502 00 or VW 504 00 specifications. From the manual, I learned that synthetic oil protects the engine better than mineral oil, reducing wear and noise while extending engine life. Especially during summer heat or winter cold starts, it flows smoothly, preventing starting difficulties. Remember to change it every 7,500 kilometers or so. Using cheap, low-quality oil may lead to increased fuel consumption or carbon buildup, affecting the overall driving experience. These points have kept my car running like new for several years.
