What type of engine oil is suitable for the Ford Escort?
1 Answers
The Ford Escort uses 5W30 engine oil. The freezing point temperature corresponding to 5W30 is -30 degrees Celsius. The number 30 after the W indicates the kinematic viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius. A higher number represents higher oil viscosity and better high-temperature resistance. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. The Ford Escort is a compact car introduced by Changan Ford, with dimensions of 4587mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2687mm. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 90kW, and is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
