What type of engine oil is used in the Magotan car?
2 Answers
The new Volkswagen Magotan uses SM grade or higher 5W-30 synthetic engine oil. Below are the details about this engine oil: 1. The selected engine oil must comply with the VW50200 standard, and high-quality unleaded gasoline meeting the GB17930 standard must be used. 2. If the consumer's budget allows, fully synthetic engine oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines operate under more complex conditions and have higher requirements for engine oil performance, making fully synthetic oil the best choice. 3. For brand selection, if longevity is a priority, Mobil engine oil can be chosen. 4. If strong cleaning capability is required, Shell engine oil is recommended. 5. For engine oil with strong oil film toughness, Castrol is suggested. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon buildup at high speeds, so Shell fully synthetic oil with strong cleaning performance can be selected.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Magotan for five years and have plenty of experience with oil changes. It's generally recommended to use fully synthetic SAE 5W-40 oil, with certification numbers like VW 502.00 being crucial as it adapts to various temperatures and protects the engine. Avoid using semi-synthetic or mineral oils as they can easily cause carbon buildup and affect longevity. The 4S shop uses this for every maintenance, and the brand doesn't matter as long as it meets the specifications. If you're buying it yourself, check the manual carefully and don't skimp on quality to save money, otherwise you'll face higher fuel consumption and louder engine noise. Regularly check the oil level and color every 7,500 kilometers—if it looks cloudy, change it promptly to keep the car running smoothly. Using the wrong oil can lead to expensive engine repairs. This habit has kept my car trouble-free and saved a lot on maintenance costs.
