What type of engine oil is used for the Trumpchi GS7?
2 Answers
The Trumpchi GS7 uses 5W30 engine oil. Below is a brief introduction about the Trumpchi GS7: 1. The Trumpchi GS7 is a new five-seat mid-size SUV under GAC Trumpchi. The body contour of the GS7 continues the square and rugged style of the Trumpchi GS8, with only the roof and rear lines differing slightly from the GS8 starting from the C-pillar, making the rear appear more compact. The design of the front headlights shares similarities with the GS8, showcasing a distinct family-style. 2. Power introduction: It is equipped with an electronic gear shift. In terms of power, the GS7 continues to feature a 2.0T engine, using the same 4B20M1 model as the GS8, and incorporates BorgWarner's low-inertia turbocharger.
I've been repairing cars for twenty years, and seeing the GAC GS7 owner asking about engine oil, I'll tell you straight: using 5W-30 full synthetic oil is the perfect choice. The engine type determines the viscosity—5W ensures quick cold starts for the GS7's engine, while 30 provides strong high-temperature lubrication, reducing wear on components. Don't just pick any brand; go for trusted ones like Mobil 1 or Shell PurePlus, with an API standard of SN or higher to ensure cleanliness and prevent carbon buildup. Personally, I change the oil every 7,500 kilometers during maintenance, always pairing it with a new filter to avoid delayed changes affecting fuel efficiency. Remember, good oil extends engine life, saves money and hassle, and prevents cold-start struggles in winter.
