What type of oil does the Changan CS35 use?
2 Answers
Changan CS35 uses engine oil with a viscosity grade of 5W30, with a filling volume of 3.4 liters. After filling, the oil level on the dipstick should be between the MIN and MAX marks. Taking the 2017 Changan CS35 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4170mm, width 1810mm, height 1670mm, wheelbase 2560mm, minimum ground clearance 180mm, and fuel tank capacity 52 liters. The 2017 Changan CS35 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 92kW and a maximum torque of 160Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Over the years of driving my Changan CS35, I've grown accustomed to using 5W-30 full synthetic oil. Primarily driving in urban areas with frequent traffic congestion, the engine noise remains minimal, and fuel consumption stays stable. I change the oil every 7,500 kilometers, purchasing Mobil 1 in advance from JD.com at half the price of dealerships—either doing it myself or having a small shop handle it. Don't overlook the SAE grade of the oil: the 'W' indicates good cold-start performance, while '30' suits daily temperature fluctuations and resists oxidation even in summer heat. Regularly check the dipstick oil level—don't wait until it turns black and thick to change. Protecting the engine this way extends its lifespan and saves on major repair costs.
