How many liters of engine oil are needed for ATS maintenance?
2 Answers
Cadillac ATS requires 4 liters of engine oil during maintenance. Here are the relevant details: 1. Criteria for oil change: When changing the engine oil, it is essential to use the same grade of original manufacturer oil. Otherwise, it may cause oil sedimentation, reduce its effectiveness, and in severe cases, damage the car engine. 2. About Cadillac ATS: The ATS is a sports-oriented mid-size sedan produced by Cadillac, classified as an imported model. As of August 2019, the ATS has been completely discontinued, while the domestically produced version has had its wheelbase extended and renamed as ATS-L.
I'm a Cadillac ATS owner and have been driving it for three to four years. My car is equipped with a 2.0T engine, and the oil change requires about 4.7 liters per service. However, the 3.6L V6 model requires more, approximately 6.6 liters. The exact amount depends on your vehicle manual, as there might be minor adjustments for different model years or modifications. Insufficient oil can increase engine friction, wear out components, and even lead to overheating and smoke, which will drive up repair costs in the long run. Too much oil increases resistance and affects acceleration. I recommend going to an authorized service center for oil changes—they use measuring cups to ensure precise amounts without deviation. Changing the full synthetic oil every 8,000 kilometers helps protect the engine and extend its lifespan. Don’t try to estimate the amount yourself; I once nearly damaged the turbocharger by not paying attention to the quantity. Get into the habit of checking the dipstick for peace of mind—safety comes first when driving.
