What type of oil is used for the Maxus G10?
1 Answers
The original oil is the oil used for the Maxus G10, with the oil model being 5W-30. In terms of applicability, the original oil is more suitable for the engine. However, depending on different needs, oil can also have other functions, such as noise reduction, fuel efficiency, and performance enhancement. Therefore, you can also choose oils from brands like Mobil, Shell, and Castrol. The viscosity of the oil changes with temperature, so special attention is needed to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the better the oil can maintain its viscosity index at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the oil in the Maxus G10 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out. Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, typically filling about three-quarters of a bottle. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for oil leaks around the drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to check that the oil level is within the standard range.
