What type of engine oil does the Geely Xingrui use?
2 Answers
Geely Xingrui uses synthetic engine oil with a viscosity grade of 0W-20. This type of oil features excellent high and low-temperature fluidity, relatively low viscosity, and superior low-temperature flow characteristics, providing better engine protection during cold starts. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of automobiles. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. Base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance shortcomings of the base oil, imparting new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.
I drive a Xingrui and am very particular about engine oil. The Geely Xingrui's engine is generally turbocharged, and the manufacturer recommends using fully synthetic oil with a viscosity of 5W-30, which can withstand high temperatures, save fuel, and prevent carbon buildup. The manual says to adjust based on local climate—using 0W-20 in cold weather is fine, but make sure it's certified oil; don't cheap out and buy random stuff. I've seen a friend use mineral oil, and it led to engine noise and premature wear. It's best to change the oil every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers, using brands like Shell or Mobil, and regularly check the oil color. The key is never to use low-quality products—otherwise, repair costs will be higher, and you'll drive with peace of mind.
