What type of engine oil does SWM Motors use?
2 Answers
SWM Motors uses 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil. SWM engine oil replacement interval: For new vehicles under normal driving conditions, if synthetic oil is used, the oil can basically be changed every 10,000 kilometers, and some can even extend to 20,000 kilometers. Automotive maintenance professionals consider "normal driving" to mean frequent highway driving with minimal stop-and-go traffic. However, if you often drive in the city with frequent traffic lights, constant traffic jams, and most trips not exceeding ten kilometers, this type of driving is considered "severe driving." Choosing engine oil for SWM: The selection of engine oil should be based on the engine's requirements. It is unnecessary to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher requirements. Multi-grade oil is recommended as it is economical, long-lasting, efficient, and provides better protection for the engine. Due to the characteristics of multi-grade oil, it may appear black prematurely or show lower oil pressure compared to conventional oil during use, both of which are normal.
I've been driving a SWM car for several years and generally refer to the user manual to use full synthetic oil, such as the 5W-30 model, which ensures quick starts in low winter temperatures and protects the engine from deformation in summer. Most SWM models are new, and their engine designs benefit from this type of oil to reduce wear. I often use the Mobil brand, which is moderately priced, and change it every 8,000 kilometers. If you frequently take long trips, choosing long-life synthetic oil is more cost-effective; if you're on a tight budget, semi-synthetic oil is also acceptable, but don't delay changing it for too long. Overall, first check the viscosity grade recommended in the manual and match it with the environmental temperature, then choose oil with an API SN or higher quality certification for greater safety.
