What type of engine oil should be used for the China VI Fengjun 5?

[TaylorAnn]

Fengjun 5 Fengjun 5 diesel version can use C35W-30 engine oil. Engine oil composition: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining the basic properties of the lubricating oil, while additives are an important part of the lubricating oil. Types of engine oil: The winter oil grades in the SAE lubricating oil viscosity classification are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, etc. The symbol W stands for winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. The summer oil grades in the SAE lubricating oil viscosity classification are: 20, 30, 40, 50. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity and the higher the applicable maximum temperature.

As a veteran mechanic with over a decade of experience, I believe Great Wall Poer 5 China VI version requires extra caution in oil selection. China VI emission vehicles must use low-ash oil to prevent DPF clogging. The manual recommends 5W-30 full synthetic oil with API SP grade or ACEA C3 specification at minimum. I often recommend Mobil 1 or Shell Ultra series for their excellent viscosity and cleaning performance. Never cut corners with conventional mineral oil – a damaged DPF could cost thousands to repair and shorten engine lifespan. Maintain regular oil changes every 5,000-8,000 km. DIY oil changes are simple: just check dipstick level and top up properly. Consistent maintenance ensures smooth engine operation, better fuel efficiency and safety.

I've been driving the Great Wall Poer 5 China VI version for two years, and the engine oil must meet the China VI standard. The manual specifies 5W-30 synthetic oil with SP-grade low-ash formulation to prevent exhaust system issues. I've used Great Wall's genuine oil, which feels excellent, costing around 300 yuan per bottle, making the engine quieter on highways. Remember not to use cheap oil casually. I once saw a neighbor use non-certified oil, resulting in frequent warning lights and over a thousand yuan in repair costs. I recommend buying from official stores or online brands like Castrol Edge. Stick to the oil change cycle—twice a year is sufficient.

Simple oil selection for my Great Wall Wingle 5 China VI model: The manual recommends 5W-30 full synthetic with SP grade certification. Online purchases of Mobil or Shell oils cost around 200+ RMB per bottle - convenient and worry-free. Don't cheap out using older oil specifications, as damaging the DPF or engine will cost more in repairs. DIY oil changes are easy with video tutorials - just get a funnel and oil pan. Remember China VI requires low-ash oil, ensure the bottle shows SP or C3 rating. Regularly check dipstick during maintenance, don't wait for warning lights.
