What type of engine oil does the Roewe RX5 use?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 uses 5w30 fully synthetic engine oil. The following is an introduction to the relevant content: The functions of engine oil are: lubrication, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, 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 of 2700mm, and minimum ground clearance of 175mm. The 2020 Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 169PS, maximum torque of 250Nm, maximum power of 124kW, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I remember when driving the Roewe RX5, the manual recommended using 5W-30 full synthetic oil, especially for the 1.5T or 2.0T engine versions. This oil ensures quick starts in cold weather, provides excellent lubrication, and saves fuel. I never worry about the engine seizing up during northern winters. However, don’t just switch brands randomly—stick to certified ones like Mobil or Shell for reliability. Change the oil yourself every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers, depending on driving habits. If you drive long distances frequently, change it earlier to extend the engine’s lifespan by five or six years. After all, repairing a damaged engine costs ten times more than the oil. Once, I used the wrong oil, and the engine noise increased while acceleration slowed down. It’s better to stick to the manufacturer’s recommendations for peace of mind.
