During family road trips, to ensure every long journey is safe and worry-free with your loved ones, in addition to preparing a spacious and comfortable SUV, checking and changing the engine oil is an essential step. Engine oil not only keeps the engine running smoothly but also plays a critical role in protecting the machinery, especially when the vehicle operates continuously on long routes.
Understanding these concerns, Voltronic Vietnam introduces the Top 3 most trusted SUV engine oils today, helping your SUV stay ready for every journey – from short city drives to long family trips.
What is an SUV?
SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle. This is a versatile vehicle designed for flexible use across various terrains – from city streets to mountain passes, slopes, and even more complex surfaces such as dirt roads or forest trails. SUVs usually have a larger body, higher ground clearance, and a sturdy chassis, allowing drivers to easily overcome obstacles, potholes, or flooded roads.
SUVs are not only powerful but also family-friendly, thanks to their spacious interiors, large luggage capacity, and stable performance on long trips. Because of these advantages, SUVs have become one of the most popular vehicle types in Vietnam in recent years.
Key Features of SUVs
1. Design and Appearance
SUVs are known for their rugged, sporty design with sharp lines and a bold stance. Their ground clearance is significantly higher than that of regular cars, making it easier to handle rough terrain, potholes, or flooded streets.
The cabin layout is often divided into two sections – the driver’s area and the passenger/cargo area at the back. This makes SUVs an ideal choice for both city commutes and long family trips, offering comfort and capacity for 5 to 7 passengers.
2. Performance
SUVs are typically equipped with large-displacement engines that deliver powerful output, ensuring stability and flexibility across different road conditions. Many models also feature all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) systems, enhancing traction and helping vehicles handle challenging terrains such as hills, mud, or sand. With their strong engines, elevated chassis, and advanced drivetrains, SUVs are highly adaptable to Vietnam’s daily driving conditions, particularly in urban traffic.
Popular SUV Models in Vietnam
Some of the most popular SUV models among Vietnamese drivers in recent years include:
- Toyota: Fortuner, Corolla Cross,…
- Ford: Everest, Territory, Explorer, Escape…
- Mazda: CX-5, CX-8,…
- Hyundai: SantaFe, Tucson,…
- Mitsubishi: Outlander, Pajero Sport,…
Each SUV model requires different types of engine oil depending on factors such as engine type (gasoline, diesel, or hybrid), engine technology, real-world driving conditions, and maintenance intervals. Choosing the right oil for your SUV is crucial to protect the engine and maintain performance in Vietnam’s diverse climate and terrain.

What to Keep in Mind When Changing SUV Engine Oil?
When preparing your SUV for long trips, timely and proper oil changes are crucial. Beyond routine maintenance, oil changes care for the “heart” of your SUV, keeping the engine cool, smooth, and durable over time.
SUVs, with their strong engines, high ground clearance, and versatile driving capabilities, require oils with excellent load resistance, effective lubrication, and stability during continuous operation. Always choose the correct oil for your SUV, replace the oil filter when needed, check oil levels carefully, and avoid mixing different oil types.
Whether it’s a short drive in the city or a long family journey, an SUV maintained with the right oil will always deliver peace of mind and reliability on every road.
