What type of oil does the Baojun 510 officially recommend?
3 Answers
Baojun 510's original factory oil specification is SM/GF-4, 5w-30. As a type of machinery, engines have common requirements for lubricating oil compared to general machinery, such as requiring appropriate viscosity, certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature performance requirements. Below is relevant information: 1. Engine oil: If the oil viscosity in the vehicle is too high, it can easily cause engine operation issues, reduce lubrication effectiveness, and lead to increased engine noise. 2. Engine: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc.
I've been driving the Baojun 510 for over two years. The official manual recommends using 5W-30 synthetic oil, and I always choose reputable brands for this. The benefits of synthetic oil include quicker starts in winter, less engine noise, and less likelihood of overheating in summer. During each maintenance session, I also check the oil level. The dipstick is on the side of the engine, and if the oil color turns black, it's time for a change. Generally, I change the oil every 8,000 kilometers or 6 months. If I frequently drive long distances, I do it a bit earlier to avoid engine carbon buildup or cylinder scoring. Oil quality directly affects driving comfort. For someone like me who commutes a lot, this advice has saved me a lot on repair costs.
My newly purchased Baojun 510 recommends 5W-30 synthetic oil. The 4S shop technicians confirmed this specification offers good protection at reasonable cost. I strictly use the manufacturer-recommended brand and follow the manual's oil change interval - averaging one service every 5,000km, including air filter cleaning. Maintaining these habits results in smoother driving and eliminates cold-start concerns. Proper oil selection also extends engine lifespan, saving money with peace of mind. As a seasoned driver, I know such details matter greatly.
