What type of engine oil should be used for the Geely Binrui 1.4t?

It is recommended to use a 5w-30 brand full synthetic engine oil. Additional information about engine oil: 1. Pay attention to the selection of engine oil for new cars: New cars are still in the running-in period, so special attention should be paid to the selection of engine oil. The grade of the oil should not be too low, and the viscosity should not be too high. This is because the engine has small bearing clearances during the running-in period, which can easily generate metal wear debris and a large amount of heat. This requires the lubricating oil to have better fluidity, i.e., lower viscosity, to easily remove metal debris and provide better cooling, avoiding accidents such as bearing seizure or connecting rod failure. 2. Note that different types of engine oil should not be mixed: Special gasoline engine oil cannot be used as a substitute for diesel engine oil, mainly to avoid accelerating the wear of the diesel engine. Since gasoline engine oil and diesel engine oil are different in use, substitution is only possible if the manufacturer provides a substitution instruction or indicates that the oil is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines, or if it is within the specified grade range. Single-grade and multi-grade oils should not be mixed. 3. Pay attention to regular oil level checks: When using engine oil, it is essential to regularly check the quality and level of the oil in use. Only when the crankcase has sufficient oil can the engine maintain a normal lubrication state. If the oil level is too low, it can cause component burning and accelerate oil deterioration; if the oil level is too high, it can enter the combustion chamber through the gap between the cylinder and piston, increasing carbon deposits in the combustion chamber.
