2 Answers
The Roewe RX5 uses fully synthetic 5W30 engine oil. The functions of engine oil include: lubrication, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, shock absorption, and anti-wear. Taking the 2020 Roewe RX5 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4556mm, width 1855mm, height 1719mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and minimum ground clearance of 175mm. The 2020 Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, maximum torque of 250Nm, and maximum power of 124kW. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I’ve been driving my Roewe RX5 for quite a while, and this model typically uses 5W-30 full synthetic oil, which is well-suited for engine protection and fuel efficiency. I checked the owner’s manual, which states that you should confirm based on the engine version—for example, there might be slight differences between the 1.5T or 2.0T. The role of engine oil is to lubricate and cool engine components, so don’t choose the wrong viscosity in summer. The 'W' indicates strong winter adaptability, and a smaller number ensures smoother cold starts. I also change the oil regularly every 7,000 kilometers to avoid carbon buildup and extend the car’s lifespan. Additionally, choosing high-quality branded oil can make the car run quieter and smoother while slightly reducing fuel consumption. If you change the oil yourself, remember to warm up the engine first. In short, following the manual’s recommendations won’t go wrong.
