What type of engine oil is suitable for Wuling Zhiguang 1.0?
2 Answers
Wuling Zhiguang 1.0 uses 5W30 engine oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Lubrication, enabling sliding between the piston and cylinder, and between the main shaft and bearing bush to prevent component wear; 2. Auxiliary cooling; 3. Cleaning carbon deposits and sludge from engine parts; 4. Sealing to prevent gas leakage and the entry of external pollutants; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention; 6. Shock absorption and cushioning; 7. Anti-wear. Taking the Wuling Zhiguang 2013 1.0L Utility model as an example, its dimensions are 3810 mm in length, 1510 mm in width, and 1820 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2500 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 38 liters, a curb weight of 975 kg, and the body structure is a passenger car.
I've been driving the Wuling Zhiguang 1.0 for many years, and this little car really requires the right engine oil, otherwise the engine can't handle it. I recommend using SAE 5W-30, which is suitable for all seasons—quick cold starts in winter and no sticking in summer. In terms of brands, I've tried Mobil's full synthetic oil, which is highly durable, with an oil change interval of about 5,000-7,000 kilometers. Don't skimp and use low-quality oil, as it can easily lead to carbon buildup and oil burning. Also, consider your driving habits—if you frequently carry loads, using a thicker 10W-40 oil is more stable. Remember to check the oil level regularly; developing this habit can save you a lot on repair costs.
