What type of engine oil is suitable for the Changan CX70T?
1 Answers
The Changan CX70T originally uses SL-grade 5W-30 engine oil. Any oil that meets this specification can be used, and there is not much difference between brands. Engine oil is a crucial factor affecting engine performance and lifespan. The vehicle comes pre-filled with high-quality multi-grade viscosity oil, which can be used year-round except in extremely cold climates. The principle for purchasing engine oil is "there is no best, only the most suitable oil." It is recommended to first use the specifications recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. When selecting oil, always choose the corresponding specifications. If price is a concern and you drive frequently with frequent oil changes, mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil is acceptable. However, if you drive very little and change oil only once a year, it is advisable to use a higher-quality fully synthetic oil. Regarding viscosity grades, some European and Japanese manufacturers, for environmental and fuel-saving reasons, may recommend low-viscosity oils like 5W-20. Simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Of course, if the manufacturer does not specify, you can choose oil based on your driving environment. Generally, commonly available oils like 0W-40, 5W-30, and 5W-40 have strong applicability, suitable for most climates in China and most vehicle usage scenarios.
