What type of oil is suitable for the Senova X25?
2 Answers
The Senova X25 requires 5W30 or higher viscosity engine oil. Using oil with viscosity that is either too high or too low can negatively impact the vehicle's normal operation. Taking the 2017 Senova X25 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4110mm, width 1750mm, height 1583mm, with a wheelbase of 2519mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters and a curb weight of 1153kg. The 2017 Senova X25 features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine producing a maximum horsepower of 116PS (85kW) and maximum torque of 148Nm, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Senova X25 for several years, always using 5W-30 full synthetic oil. The car's original manual recommends this viscosity because it adapts to various weather conditions, ensuring smooth cold starts in winter and protecting the engine in summer heat. I drive in regular city conditions, changing the oil every 8,000 kilometers on average, and have never had any issues. When choosing oil, pay attention to the API rating to ensure it's SN grade or newer—brands like Shell or Castrol work well. Don't skimp on quality with cheap, inferior oil, as it can cause engine wear. I regularly check the dipstick myself and top up if needed. I recommend checking the oil condition every six months or before long trips—safety first! Driving isn't just about oil; don't forget to check your tires and brakes too.
