What type of engine oil is suitable for the Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 requires 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil. Engine oil, also known as Engine-oil in English, serves multiple functions for the engine including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. Below is an introduction to engine oil-related information: 1. There are 4 types of summer oils, 6 types of winter oils, and 16 types of all-season oils. The summer oil grades are: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, with higher numbers indicating greater viscosity and suitability for higher maximum temperatures. 2. The winter oil grades are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The letter W stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity and the better the low-temperature fluidity, making it suitable for lower minimum temperatures.
For the Roewe RX5, I believe the suitable engine oil mainly depends on the engine model. Typically, it's SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil, and the manufacturer recommends high-quality API SN-grade oil. From my experience, using inappropriate oil, such as low-quality oil or mismatched viscosity, can lead to increased engine noise, higher fuel consumption, and accelerated wear over time. I advise owners to always check the manual, as it clearly specifies the requirements—don’t switch oils blindly. I drive a similar car myself, and after switching to a reputable brand, the ride became smoother, acceleration more responsive, and maintenance intervals longer. Additionally, consider seasonal changes when choosing oil—lower viscosity oil is better for cold starts in winter. It’s best to purchase from authorized dealers to avoid counterfeit products, as the quality of engine oil directly impacts the car’s lifespan. This is not something to take lightly.
