What type of engine oil does the Changan CS15 use?
2 Answers
The Changan CS15 uses 5W30 engine oil. The functions of engine oil include: lubrication, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, shock absorption and cushioning, and anti-wear. Taking the 2021 Changan CS15 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4135mm, width 1740mm, height 1630mm, with a wheelbase of 2520mm, a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters, and a curb weight of 1210kg. The 2021 Changan CS15 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 107PS, a maximum power of 78.5kW, a maximum torque of 145Nm, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've gained quite a bit of experience in driving and car maintenance, especially with models like the Changan CS15. The owner's manual usually recommends using 5W-30 full synthetic oil, as its viscosity ensures smooth cold starts and provides high-temperature protection for the engine. I suggest checking the maintenance section of your manual first—it clearly specifies the oil type and API standards like SN or SP. Avoid using oil with viscosity that's too low or too high, as it can lead to increased fuel consumption or insufficient lubrication. For routine maintenance, change the oil every 6,000-8,000 kilometers. You can opt for reputable brands like Shell or Mobil, which offer good value for money. During oil changes, check the oil filter and sealing rings to prevent leaks, ensuring smoother driving.
