What type of engine oil is suitable for the Refine S3?
1 Answers
The official manual of the Refine S3 recommends engine oil models 5W-30 and 0W-30. Any engine oil that meets these specifications can be used. For later maintenance and oil changes, you can choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, or Castrol. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures down to -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Refine S3 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to cool down, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine for about 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out. Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply some oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Typically, fill about three-quarters of a standard oil bottle. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes. Check for any oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check if the oil level is within the standard range.
