After the article was published, many netizens left messages in my editor’s blog, hoping to see more information about the original lubricating oil of the manufacturer. Don’t worry, as mentioned above, I will introduce it by stages according to the manufacturers, so this week I will introduce you the supplier information of some original lubricants from European and American manufacturers.
Similarly, due to some reasons, the brands designed in this article of European and American departments will not be complete, so we will take out the length of an article to check for leaks and fill gaps.
In addition, I welcome all netizens to leave messages in my editing blog and put forward your suggestions and needs, and I will meet them as soon as possible.(Click to enter:Zhai yuan’s blog). At the same time, the manufacturers involved in this paper do not have a unified national retail guide price for the original lubricating oil, so this paper will not list the price of the original lubricating oil.

FAW-Volkswagen
FAW-Volkswagen has the longest history in China, so it is relatively comprehensive in providing customer service and related supporting facilities. Since the OEM was not indicated on the package, we contacted the customer phone number of the supporting supply factory of FAW-Volkswagen by telephone. It is understood that there are many original oil suppliers of FAW-Volkswagen at present. According to the internal number of the manufacturer, the information of OEM brands is compared as follows:

At present, Buick and Chevrolet, two big brands of Shanghai GM in China, produce not only entry-level models that meet the needs of ordinary families, but also some sports or business models that adopt higher-end engine technology. Therefore, in order to adapt to domestic sales and market conditions, in addition toShellForeign, domesticThe Great Wall and Kunlun MountainsIt has also become a supplier of its original lubricating oil.

Fiat now sells all models with 1.4L turbocharged engines in China, so it needs to use higher-grade lubricating oil for maintenance. At present, domestic 4S stores use models of.SM Grade 5W-40 Fully Synthetic Lubricating Oil.

Volvo (imported/domestic)
Recently, the Volvo brand has attracted great attention in China, which is mainly related to Geely’s acquisition of Volvo. Of course, in addition to the acquisition information, Volvo’s domestically produced and imported models are also sold well in China.
Because Volvo and Castrol had a long cooperative relationship before, the original lubricating oil used by Volvo in China isCastrol provides semi-synthetic engine oil with SM-class 5W-40 model.(commercially available-magnetic protection). If it is reasonable to say that Volvo’s in-line 5-cylinder 2.4L engine, 2.5T turbocharged engine and 3.0T in-line 6-cylinder engine use all synthetic engine oil, then it is a bit extravagant to use in-line 4-cylinder 2.0L engine (like Changan Fox’s 2.0L engine) and also use all synthetic engine oil.
Applicable models:
Semi-synthetic engine oil of SM class 5W-40;All models are universal.
