How many liters of engine oil does the Binyue require?

[StNaomi]

The Binyue requires approximately 5.5 liters of engine oil. When adding engine oil, it is essential to ensure that the oil level is between the min and max marks on the dipstick. If the level is below the min mark, it can lead to insufficient lubrication in the engine, which may accelerate engine wear. Conversely, if the level exceeds the max mark, it can increase the engine's operational resistance, resulting in reduced power and higher fuel consumption. The Binyue is a model under Geely Auto, with body dimensions of 4330mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1609mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. In terms of exterior design, the Binyue features sharply angled headlights complemented by two arc-shaped LED daytime running lights, enhancing its dynamic and sharp appearance.

Last time when I took my Binyue for maintenance, I specifically asked the technician. The 1.5T engine of this car requires about a little over 4 liters of oil for an oil change. However, it's crucial to drain the old oil thoroughly. I personally watched the mechanic lift the car and let it drain for 15 minutes, waiting until it completely stopped dripping before adding new oil. In the end, 4.2 liters were added, just reaching the middle mark on the dipstick. I'd advise you to prepare 4.5 liters of oil just in case the old oil isn't fully drained or the oil filter absorbs more oil, this extra amount will come in handy. By the way, the Shell Helix 5W-30 makes the engine sound super quiet.

My neighbor has been running an auto repair shop for over a decade, and he says he's handled at least eighty if not a hundred Binyue vehicles. Both the 1.4T and 1.5T engines are four-cylinder, with a very compact oil pan design. The actual oil change volume fluctuates between 4.0 to 4.3 liters. The key is the oil change procedure: the car must be parked on level ground, have a rag ready to catch drips when removing the oil filter, and after refilling, start the engine for two minutes before turning it off to top up the oil. Last time, my car just reached the minimum level with 4 liters, and it took another half bottle to reach the ideal level.

Turn to page 37 of the maintenance manual: the total engine oil capacity for the Binyue series is 4.2±0.2 liters. However, there are nuances in actual operation. During maintenance, I instructed the technician to first add 3.8 liters, start the car to circulate for a few minutes, allow the new oil to fill the filter and pipelines, then shut off and check. Sure enough, the dipstick showed it was half a mark short, so we slowly topped it up to 4.1 liters for a perfect middle level. This avoids overfilling (which causes blue smoke) while protecting the turbocharger—repairing that thing isn't cheap.

The other day, I changed the oil for my Binyue myself and specifically measured the waste oil bucket. I drained out 3.9 liters of old oil, and added exactly 4 liters of new oil to the midpoint slightly below, but actually could have added a bit more. Later, I learned from a maintenance forum that this car is designed with an oil cooling circuit, which retains about 200 milliliters in the pipelines. It's recommended to buy a 4-liter oil container directly, seal the remaining half bottle with plastic wrap, and check the oil level after driving 3,000 kilometers to top it up for better safety. This avoids oxidation and waste from leaving the oil open for too long.

Our car club veterans often say: 'The Binyue's iron heart runs best on 4.2 liters of blood.' But remember to check oil certifications when purchasing - the factory requires low-ash C2 or C3 specifications, otherwise you'll regret clogging the catalytic converter. Once a mechanic used cheap conventional oil during maintenance, and the engine light came on within two weeks. Now I always supervise the process: after refilling, I triple-check - oil level at dipstick midpoint, no leaks underneath, and no dashboard warnings. Only then can I drive with peace of mind.
