What type of engine oil should be used for the Trumpchi GS8?
1 Answers
The Trumpchi GS8 requires semi-synthetic engine oil with a viscosity grade of SAE5W-30, meeting SN grade or above. The oil used for replacement at 4S stores is GAC genuine engine oil. Here is an introduction to engine oil: 1. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), serves multiple functions such as 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. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. 2. Base oil is the primary component of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties. Additives are used to compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricants. As a type of machinery, engines have specific requirements for lubricants that align with general machinery, such as appropriate viscosity, certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature performance requirements.
