What Type of Engine Oil is Suitable for the Arrizo 5?

[Mandy]

The suitable engine oil model for the Arrizo 5 is 5W-30. Below are the precautions for adding engine oil to the Arrizo 5: 1. Choose engine oil based on the engine's requirements: It is unnecessary to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher requirements. 2. Try to choose multi-grade oil: Multi-grade oil is economical, long-lasting, and efficient, providing better protection for the engine. Due to the characteristics of multi-grade oil, it may appear darker earlier or have lower oil pressure compared to regular oil, which is normal. 3. Some domestic brand engine oils are of quite good quality and are much cheaper than imported counterparts, so they can be used with confidence. There is no need to blindly pursue 'foreign oil.' 4. If the engine is in good condition and the seasonal temperature is low, use oil with lower viscosity to ensure smooth oil flow. In high-temperature seasons or when the engine is severely worn, using higher-viscosity oil helps form an oil film and reduce engine wear.

I've been driving the Arrizo 5 for almost five years and found that 5W-30 is the most suitable oil type for it. The engine design leans towards refinement. I tried 5W-40 during hot summers, but 5W-30 works well in most climates, with smoother cold starts. Living in the southern region myself, it performs fine even in high humidity, though I'd recommend lower viscosity oil for northern winters. The manual recommends Chery's genuine oil, so I follow this standard and get it changed at the 4S shop for around 200 yuan each time. Regular oil changes every 5,000 kilometers keep the car running smoothly with decent acceleration. Don’t overlook oil quality—choose synthetic or semi-synthetic oil with API SN grade or higher to prevent carbon buildup and extend engine life. In short, just match it to your car’s age and driving habits.

From a technical perspective, the Arrizo 5 engine is best matched with 5W-30 oil, as the SAE standard ensures viscosity stability in both cold and hot environments. Using higher viscosity oil like 5W-40 increases fuel consumption, while lower viscosity offers insufficient protection. Synthetic oil with API SN or higher grade is recommended to avoid wear caused by inferior products. The vehicle manual typically specifies 5W-30—use genuine oil from authorized shops and ensure replacement every six months or 5,000 kilometers. Monitor oil temperature during daily driving and check dipstick levels after prolonged high-speed runs. Stick to the manufacturer’s recommendation for simplicity; avoid switching grades to save costs, as it may damage the engine long-term. Always refer to the factory manual and adapt to local climate conditions.

As a new car owner, the manual for my Arrizo 5 clearly states: 5W-30 oil is recommended, don't use other types randomly. For my first oil change, I went to the 4S dealership and used the original oil—everything went smoothly. The process is simple; just ask the technician to check the manual when scheduling maintenance. Oil type relates to climate—for example, in northern winters, choose one with better low-temperature performance. Regular maintenance saves money and keeps the engine running quieter. I suggest car owners develop a habit of checking the oil every six months to ensure safe driving.
