How many liters of engine oil are required for an Alphard maintenance?

[OLyla]

Alphard maintenance requires 5.5 liters of engine oil. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. The Alphard comes with Toyota's official extended warranty of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. Purchasers are entitled to two free routine maintenance services: the first service is free at 5,000 kilometers, and the second service at 10,000 kilometers includes free labor charges. The dealership recommends performing routine maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or every six months after the initial two services. Selecting engine oil should be based on the engine's requirements, as the appropriate type ensures optimal performance. It is unnecessary to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher demands. Under the premise of ensuring reliable engine lubrication, it is advisable to use engine oil with the lowest possible viscosity. High-viscosity oil increases resistance during engine operation, leading to higher fuel consumption.
