The 2019 Magotan 330 requires 5.5L of engine oil. The 2019 Magotan 330 is equipped with a turbocharged engine, which necessitates the use of higher-performance fully synthetic engine oil to protect the internal components of the engine. When adding engine oil, it is generally advisable to fill it between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick, not below the middle mark. During high-speed driving, the high temperature of the engine can make the oil thinner. If the oil level is too low, it may reduce lubrication and cooling effectiveness. The body dimensions of the 2019 Magotan 330 are 4855mm in length, 1832mm in width, 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm.

I remember when my 2019 Magotan 330 was being serviced, the mechanic specifically reminded me to keep the engine oil volume at around 5 liters. He said this car uses the EA888 engine, and when changing the oil along with the filter, it basically requires exactly 5 liters. However, he also emphasized not to pour it all in at once—it's better to keep half a bottle as backup. After starting the car and letting it run for a few minutes before shutting it off, check the oil dipstick level. I learned this the hard way—last time I added half a liter extra myself, and it made the throttle feel sluggish and increased fuel consumption. For maintenance, it's recommended to use 5W-40 oil that meets the VW 502 standard, as it protects the turbo and prevents sludge buildup.

Once at the repair shop, I witnessed a mechanic performing an oil change on a Magotan 330. After draining the old oil from that 2.0T engine, he first added 4.7 liters of fresh oil, then started the engine to circulate it for two minutes. After shutting it off and waiting five minutes, he checked the dipstick—sure enough, it needed an additional 200ml to reach the midpoint. The mechanic explained that this design is due to the oil filter's high position, requiring extra oil initially to fill the pipelines. Now I've developed a habit: before driving home after maintenance, I always check the dipstick level. When the engine is cold, having the oil level at two-thirds between the upper and lower marks is safest—this way, even sharp turns won't trigger the oil warning light.

When I first bought the car, I was also confused about the oil quantity. Later, I checked the manual and confirmed that the 330 version indeed requires 5 liters. However, there are some practical tips: Before maintenance, let the car sit idle for half an hour so that the old oil can completely drain back. When adding new oil, don't pour it all at once—4.8 liters is sufficient. Start the engine and let it run for three minutes to circulate the oil, then turn it off and wait ten minutes before checking. If the oil level on the dipstick is below the midpoint, add a small amount more. The oil filler port is on the right side of the engine, and remember to wipe the funnel clean before pouring to avoid any impurities falling in.
