What type of engine oil is suitable for the Jingyi X5?
2 Answers
Jingyi X5 uses 5W-40 semi-synthetic engine oil. Precautions: The 5W-40 engine oil can meet the daily operational requirements of the Jingyi X5's engine. When the oil reaches its expiration date, it must be completely replaced. Otherwise, it can easily lead to spark plug blockage, causing wear on car components or other issues. Engine oil usage: After adding engine oil, sludge and carbon deposits on engine parts disperse into the oil, which will cause the oil color to turn black after a certain period. Typically, you should determine whether the oil needs to be replaced based on its viscosity rather than just observing the color change. If the oil level is too low, insufficient lubrication can cause cylinder scoring. If there is too much oil, it can affect vehicle performance and increase fuel consumption.
My Jingyi X5 has been running for three to four years, and I usually use 5W-30 full synthetic oil, which adapts well to various weather conditions. It starts smoothly in winter without easy freezing, and provides strong high-temperature protection in summer. I always get it changed at the 4S店, with maintenance every five thousand kilometers. If it's winter in the north, considering 0W-30 is also an option, as it lubricates faster. It's recommended to check the user manual first, as different model years of Jingyi may have different recommendations. For example, my 2019 model manual clearly states the use of 5W-30. Don't use low-grade mineral oil, as it tends to cause carbon buildup. Using high-quality oil once can extend the engine's lifespan. Pay attention to the oil change cycle during daily driving; if you frequently drive at high speeds, you should change the oil earlier. Choosing the right oil for this model can also lower fuel consumption, making driving more worry-free.
