2 Answers
Cadillac ATS maintenance generally requires five liters of engine oil. More information about the Cadillac ATS is as follows: 1. The Cadillac ATS is a new lightweight rear-wheel-drive model developed by Cadillac, incorporating the latest achievements in product design, research and development, and performance tuning. It made its global debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 2012. 2. The Cadillac ATS has a length, width, and height of 4643mm, 1805mm, and 1421mm respectively, with a front track of 1512mm, rear track of 1548mm, and a wheelbase of 2775mm. The curb weight is 1550kg, the trunk space is 290L, and the fuel tank capacity is 60.5L. 3. The Cadillac ATS is built on Cadillac's new Alpha front-engine rear-wheel-drive platform, with a near-optimal 50:50 weight distribution between the front and rear axles, ensuring the best dynamic driving performance and stability. The ATS also offers an optional all-wheel-drive system. 4. The Cadillac ATS offers three engine options: a 2.0T turbocharged engine, a 2.5L I4 engine, and a 3.6L V6 engine.
I've been driving a Cadillac ATS for almost four years, and I usually prepare a little over 5 liters of engine oil for each maintenance. The 2.0T engine normally requires 4.7-5.2 liters for an oil change. I prefer to buy 5-liter jugs of full synthetic oil, leaving a small margin. During maintenance, it's advisable to supervise the technician's operation. They usually add about 4.5 liters first, start the engine and let it run for two minutes to circulate the new oil, then turn it off and wait three minutes before checking the dipstick level. If it's below the midpoint, add a bit more, but be very careful not to exceed the maximum mark—this is particularly important. Remember to use the manufacturer-recommended 5W-30 specification for oil brand and viscosity, especially since turbocharged engines have higher oil requirements. If you buy oil yourself, pay attention to the production date—don't use oil that's been opened for more than six months.
