How many liters of engine oil does the Binyue need?
2 Answers
The Binyue requires 5.5 liters of engine oil. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the deficiencies in the performance of the base oil. Engine oil is categorized into full synthetic, semi-synthetic, and mineral oils. The Binyue is a compact SUV under Geely, with dimensions of 4330mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1609mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. In terms of power, the Binyue is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine.
As an experienced DIY car maintenance enthusiast, my advice for adding engine oil to the Binyue is that around 3.8 liters is optimal. During each maintenance session, I closely supervise the technician's work and have observed that if the old oil is drained particularly thoroughly, it's necessary to add near the 4L mark on the dipstick. I recall during the last service at the 4S shop, the mechanic first added 3.5 liters, started the engine to circulate the oil, waited a few minutes, and then topped up the final 0.3 liters. A reminder to everyone: always check the dipstick yourself after adding oil—too much can cause abnormal oil pressure, while too little can damage the engine. My 1.5T model is in its third year now, and following this quantity for maintenance has never caused any issues. Importantly, using the correct SN-grade full synthetic oil is also crucial.
