What type of oil does the Ruicheng CC use?
2 Answers
Ruicheng CC uses fully synthetic oil with a grade of 5W30. The Ruicheng CC is the first model under Changan's new design language, positioned as a sporty midsize sedan with a low-slung body line and a very sporty front fascia. In terms of dimensions, the Ruicheng CC measures 4780mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1465mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2770mm. For power, the Ruicheng CC is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine codenamed JL476ZQCD, delivering a maximum output of 156 horsepower, paired with either a manual or automatic transmission.
I just changed the oil for my Raeton CC, and this matter should be checked against the official manual. Changan manuals generally recommend using 5W-30 viscosity oil, especially for the turbocharged 1.5T engine. When I went to the 4S shop last time, the mechanic directly brought out a full synthetic oil barrel, saying this car must use oil with GF-5 or SN grade certification. You don't need to worry about the oil film failing during long summer drives, as the 30 viscosity provides sufficient high-temperature protection. However, during northern winters when temperatures drop below -20°C, I've also tried 0W-20 oil, and cold starts were indeed smoother. Remember to change the oil every 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers, and don't skimp by using mineral oil—turbocharged cars can't handle that.
