What type of engine oil is suitable for the XRV?
1 Answers
The XRV engine uses original SM-grade 0W-20 or 5W-20 engine oil. Viscosity selection: In general, 5W is suitable for most regions during winter. However, in certain northern areas (such as Jilin Province), it is recommended to use 0W oil for better cold-start performance to adapt to driving environment temperatures. The high-temperature viscosity value is typically 20. However, if the vehicle frequently operates in congested areas, is older, or used for long-distance heavy-load transportation, the oil viscosity can be appropriately increased, such as using 0W-30 oil. Naturally aspirated engines have relatively modest oil quality requirements and can use mineral or semi-synthetic oil. If the budget allows, full synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and harsher operating conditions, requiring higher-quality oil with better fluidity. Full synthetic oil is recommended. Oil brands: For long-lasting oil, Mobil oil is a good choice. For oil with strong cleaning capabilities, Shell oil can be used. For oil with strong oil film toughness, Castrol is recommended. Turbocharged engines are prone to carbon buildup during high-speed operation, so Shell oil with strong cleaning capabilities is a suitable option.
