What type of engine oil is suitable for Geely Emgrand?
2 Answers
Geely New Emgrand is suitable for engine oil with the specification SAE10W-30. When the ambient temperature is below 0°C, SAE5W-30 can be used instead. The API quality grade should be SL or above. The specific details for choosing engine oil for cars are as follows: Selection based on driving conditions: For frequent driving in congested areas, prolonged vehicle use, or long-distance heavy-load transportation, the viscosity of the engine oil can be appropriately increased, meaning choosing an oil model with a larger number before the W. Selection based on temperature: The smaller the number before the W, the lower the viscosity at low temperatures, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. The larger the number before the W, the higher the viscosity at low temperatures, the worse the low-temperature fluidity. If used at temperatures below its capability, the engine may fail to start.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for over five years, and I feel that choosing the right engine oil is quite important. Generally, it's recommended to use 5W-30 full synthetic oil, as suggested in the user manual, because its viscosity is suitable and makes the engine run more smoothly. I've been using this since the car was new, and even in stop-and-go city traffic, it doesn't overheat, and the acceleration response is quick. In terms of brands, Shell or Mobil are both good choices—don't cheap out and buy no-name brands, as saving a little money might lead to increased noise or higher fuel consumption. The oil change interval is every 5,000 to 7,000 kilometers, and going to a 4S shop is hassle-free. The viscosity isn't a big issue during high summer temperatures, but it's important to regularly check the dipstick. The Geely Emgrand's engine isn't overly delicate, but good-quality oil can extend its lifespan. It's also essential to pair it with a good filter and replace both during maintenance. I've driven long distances, and there are no worries on the highway.
