What type of oil does the Arrizo 5 use?
2 Answers
Arrizo 5 uses fully synthetic 5W30 oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Reduce friction and high temperatures; 2. Cool down; 3. Clean and remove deposits; 4. Dampen vibrations; 5. Prevent rust and corrosion. The Arrizo 5 is a compact car. Taking the 2021 Arrizo 5 Luxury model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4572 mm, width 1825 mm, height 1482 mm, wheelbase 2670 mm, and fuel tank capacity 48 liters. The 2021 Arrizo 5 Luxury model is equipped with a 1.6L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 66 kW and a maximum power speed of 6150 rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
My Arrizo 5 has always used 5W-30 synthetic oil because the engine design is relatively modern, and higher viscosity would affect startup efficiency. In winter when it's cold, oil flow is poor, and 5W solves this issue, while the 30 viscosity doesn't thin out too much in summer heat. API SN or SP grade is best, offering strong protection against dirt and oxidation. Every time I change the oil during maintenance, I check the dipstick to ensure it's at the midpoint. The manual recommends changing every 5,000 km, but synthetic oil can last up to 8,000 km. Don't skimp on this—just use mainstream brands like Mobil or Castrol. Long-term use of the wrong oil may increase fuel consumption and cause severe piston ring wear. Make regular maintenance a habit, and your car will run more smoothly.
