What Type of Oil Should a Geely Xingrui Use?
2 Answers
Geely Xingrui is suitable for SAE10W-30 oil. When the ambient temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, SAE5W-30 can be used instead. The API quality grade should be SL or above. Qualified Lubricating Oil: Only qualified lubricating oil can reduce the wear of engine parts and extend their service life. Qualified lubricating oil must first have good lubrication and wear reduction functions, followed by cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. The main differences between synthetic oil and mineral oil are: Synthetic oil can be used over a wider temperature range and has a longer service life, but it is more expensive. For the same oil film requirements, synthetic oil can achieve this with a lower viscosity, while mineral oil requires a relatively higher viscosity to meet the same requirements.
I've been driving the Geely Xingrui for several years and have learned to be cautious about oil changes. According to the user manual, 5W-30 full synthetic oil is most suitable because the Xingrui's engine is turbocharged, and this oil maintains high-temperature stability while protecting engine components from wear. I always choose well-known brands like Shell or Castrol that meet the API SP standard to ensure better lubrication performance. I usually check the oil level around every 5,000 kilometers, and if the oil appears too thin or blackened, I change it promptly to keep the car running smoothly and fuel-efficiently. Remember to avoid mineral oil or high-viscosity oil, as they can affect acceleration response. In the long run, regular maintenance with the right oil extends engine life and prevents unnecessary repair costs.
