How many liters of engine oil does the Buick Envision require?

Buick Envision requires 4.5 liters of engine oil, using 5W30 fully synthetic oil. After adding oil, you can check the oil dipstick for the exact level. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, and prevent rust and corrosion in the engine. The Buick Envision is a midsize SUV with body dimensions of 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1691mm in height. In terms of power, the Buick Envision is equipped with either a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine or a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter version comes with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0-liter version is paired with a 9-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving a Buick Envision for 3 years and have done maintenance 4-5 times. My 2.0T AWD version always takes exactly 5 liters of full synthetic oil during each oil change, reaching the middle mark on the dipstick. A colleague with the 1.5T FWD version says 4 liters is sufficient - mechanics first add 3.8 liters when changing the oil filter, then top up to the mark after starting the engine. Too much oil makes the engine feel sluggish and increases fuel consumption, while too little risks cylinder scoring. The most reliable method is to check the label under your engine hood - it states 4.7L for 20T models and 5.7L for 28T models, and remember to check the dipstick when the engine is cold for most accurate reading. Last month I tried changing the oil myself and specifically bought a measuring cup, only to discover that if the old oil isn't completely drained, you'll need about 200ml less new oil.
