What type of engine oil does the Changan Raeton CC use?

sn-level 5w30 viscosity grade full synthetic engine oil is the type used in the Changan Raeton CC. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Mobil or Castrol. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the car in low temperatures. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the better the oil maintains its viscosity index at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Changan Raeton CC is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply some oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a standard oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

The car I drive is the Changan Raeton CC, and I've been using 5W-30 synthetic oil for almost three years now, as clearly recommended in the manual. At first, I didn't understand much about engine oil and thought any type would do, but I noticed a slight increase in fuel consumption. Later, after carefully reading the manual, I realized that the Raeton CC's engine requires this specific viscosity because it ensures smooth cold starts, preventing freezing in winter, and provides excellent protection at high temperatures, so I don't have to worry about overheating during summer highway drives. I use a reputable brand of semi-synthetic oil, changing it every 7,500 kilometers, and I regularly check the dipstick to ensure the oil level is normal. Choosing the right oil is crucial—otherwise, engine wear accelerates, leading to costly and troublesome repairs. Remember, the manual is the best guide; don't rely on guesswork or past experiences.

Having worked in car repairs for many years, I've encountered quite a few Changan Raeton CC owners who often ask about the right engine oil to use. The standard is clearly stated in the manual: 5W-30 synthetic oil. The 5W indicates good low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smooth starts in cold weather, while the 30 means moderate viscosity at high temperatures, protecting the engine from oil burning. I've repaired some cars that used the wrong oil, like mineral oil, resulting in increased carbon buildup and skyrocketing fuel consumption. I recommend Raeton CC owners change their oil regularly, every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers depending on driving habits; if you frequently encounter city traffic jams, changing it earlier is better. Engine oil is no small matter—choose certified brands when selecting. Synthetic oil has better cleaning properties and can extend engine life. If you have any issues, visit the 4S shop—don't experiment randomly.

When I first bought the Ruicheng CC, I knew nothing about cars. The salesperson told me the standard oil was 5W-30 synthetic. I used it for over half a year, and during the oil change, the technician also said it was a perfect match, keeping the engine running smoothly and quietly. The manual emphasizes that this oil is specifically designed for the Ruicheng CC, offering strong protection and some fuel efficiency. I change the oil every 6,000 kilometers, and the car has been running smoothly ever since. New car owners should read the manual first, especially the oil section, to avoid minor issues.

As a car enthusiast, I'm quite concerned about the engine oil used in the Ruicheng CC. Its 5W-30 synthetic oil performs reliably in normal driving conditions. I've tested it on long highway trips, and the oil maintains good adhesion at high temperatures while reducing engine noise. For those looking to slightly enhance performance through modifications, full synthetic oil can be used, but it must meet the original factory specifications to avoid voiding the warranty. Although the Ruicheng CC is an everyday car, oil selection is crucial for engine longevity. Avoid using high-viscosity oils that can increase resistance. The owner's manual is the gold standard, and regular oil changes are essential for maintaining engine health.
