What type of engine oil is used for the Great Wall Wingle 5?
1 Answers
The original engine oil for the Great Wall Wingle 5 is 5W-30. In terms of applicability, the original oil is more suitable for the engine. However, depending on different needs, engine oil can also have other benefits such as noise reduction, fuel efficiency, and improved performance. Therefore, you can also choose engine oils from brands like Mobil, Shell, or Castrol. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother for the car. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher this number, the better the oil maintains its viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil for the Wingle 5 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the 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 new 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, usually filling about three-quarters of the bottle. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any leaks around the drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, they should be repaired. After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to check that the oil level is within the standard range.
