What Type of Engine Oil Does the Arrizo 5 Use?
3 Answers
Arrizo 5 uses 5w30 fully synthetic engine oil. The functions of engine oil are: assisting in engine lubrication and reducing friction, cooling and temperature reduction, sealing and preventing leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. The Arrizo 5 is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4572mm, width 1825mm, height 1482mm, and a wheelbase of 2670mm. The Arrizo 5 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power output of 66 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 130 Newton-meters. Its drive system is front-wheel drive, with MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.
As a long-time owner of the Chery Arrizo 5, I always insist on using 5W-30 full synthetic oil for every maintenance service, as it provides better engine protection, reduces wear, and improves fuel efficiency. The standard engine of the Arrizo 5 is well-suited for this viscosity. When changing oil, I make it a habit to check the manual or consult the 4S shop to ensure the API standard is SN or above, avoiding cheap mineral oils that can cause carbon buildup. During seasonal transitions, I check the oil level—using heat-resistant oil in summer for better high-temperature performance and paying attention to cold-start performance in winter. I change the oil every 6,000-8,000 kilometers, and my car still runs like new even after 100,000 kilometers. Remember to regularly inspect the oil filter and check for leaks—don’t slack off!
For my daily commute with the Chery Arrizo 5, I find that 5W-30 semi-synthetic or full synthetic oil is sufficient—affordable and practical. Avoid oils that are too viscous, as they can lead to slower cold starts and increased fuel consumption. I usually opt for brands that meet API SM or SN standards, such as Great Wall or Mobil. During each maintenance session, I pay extra attention to the authenticity of the oil, choosing reputable shops to avoid counterfeit products that could harm the engine and save on fuel costs. A little extra tip: increase oil change frequency in hot weather, and prioritize oils with better fluidity in cold conditions for smoother driving. It's simple and easy to follow, with no technical barriers.
