What Type of Engine Oil Does the BinYue Use?
2 Answers
The BinYue uses 0W20 engine oil. The functions of engine oil include: lubrication, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, shock absorption, and wear resistance. Taking the 2020 BinYue as an example, it is a compact SUV with a wheelbase of 2600mm, a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, and a curb weight of 1310kg. The 2020 BinYue features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 141PS, a maximum torque of 235Nm, and a maximum power of 104kW. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
For the Binyue model, I've been driving it for over a year. The manual recommends SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil, which performs well in both city and highway driving. This oil has moderate viscosity, suits most climates, provides excellent engine lubrication, and reduces wear and noise. I change the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers, checking the filter to ensure cleanliness. Choosing brands like Mobil or Shell, though more expensive, ensures durability and prevents sludge-related issues. In cold winters, considering 0W-20 can improve startup performance, but always refer to the specific year's manual. Regular maintenance not only saves fuel but also extends the car's lifespan. Remember to monitor oil level and color changes for timely action, keeping the engine running smoothly.
