What oil is suitable for Senova X25?
2 Answers
The suitable oil models for BAIC Senova X25 are 5W-30 and above. It is recommended to use 5W-30 oil, as oil with too high or too low viscosity is not conducive to the normal use of the vehicle. Engine oils are divided into three types: conventional oil, synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The specific classifications of engine oil are as follows: 1. Summer oil: 20, 30, 40, 50. 2. Winter oil: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. 3. All-season oil: 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 10W-20, 10W-30, 10W-40, 10W-50, 15W-20, 15W-30, 15W-40, 15W-50, 20W-20, 20W-30, 20W-40, 20W-50.
I've been driving the Senova X25 for several years and always stick to 5W-30 full synthetic oil, such as Shell or Mobil brands. This oil has good fluidity at low temperatures, making cold starts easier in winter, while providing engine protection against wear during summer heat. The manual clearly recommends this specification, so never randomly switch to other viscosities. Changing it every 5,000 to 7,000 kilometers or every six months can effectively extend engine life. Whether driving in the city or on long highway trips, synthetic oil offers better cleaning and lubrication, reducing carbon buildup issues. Remember, regular maintenance includes checking the dipstick to ensure the oil level is within the normal range. It's best to get it changed at authorized shops to avoid counterfeit oil damaging the car.
