What type of engine oil should be used for the Chery Arrizo 5?
1 Answers
Arrizo 5 originally uses SM-grade 10W-40 engine oil. As an economical model, it should use semi-synthetic engine oil. When financial conditions permit, full synthetic engine oil can also be used. Below is detailed information about engine oil: 1. Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves multiple functions for the engine, including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. Base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties. Additives compensate for and improve any shortcomings in the base oil's performance, providing new characteristics and playing a crucial role in the lubricating oil's overall performance.
