What type of oil does the Chevrolet Trax use?
2 Answers
The Chevrolet Trax uses 5W30 grade engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, which serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. The Chevrolet Trax is a compact SUV. Taking the 2021 Chevrolet Trax Automatic Power Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4270mm, width 1791mm, height 1618mm, with a wheelbase of 2570mm. The 2021 Chevrolet Trax Automatic Power Edition is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 92kW at 5800rpm and a maximum torque of 180Nm.
As a car owner, I've been driving this Chevrolet Trax for over three years, always using 5W-30 full synthetic oil. The key is to choose dexos-certified standard oil to protect the engine and prevent wear. It makes daily driving much smoother, especially with frequent start-stop in the city, and using the right oil keeps fuel consumption stable. I change it every 7,500 to 10,000 kilometers, checking the oil level and cleanliness during the change. In winter, I switch to 0W-20 for faster cold starts. A friend tried cheap oil once, and the engine noise increased significantly, so they quickly switched back to the recommended type. In short, the owner's manual is very clear—follow it for maintenance, and the car will be durable and safe. Maintenance isn't expensive, but the benefits of peace of mind and fuel efficiency are significant. Don't forget regular checks.
