3 Answers
Cadillac ATS-L requires 5 liters of engine oil. The Cadillac ATS-L is a compact sedan with exterior dimensions of 4643 mm in length, 1806 mm in width, and 1420 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2775 mm and a curb weight of 1550 kg. The Cadillac ATS-L has a trunk capacity of 290 liters and a fuel tank capacity of 60.5 liters. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, a 2.5L I4 engine, and a 3.6L V6 engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The interior features the CUE (Cadillac User Experience) in-car information human-machine interaction system and an 8-inch multi-touch LCD screen.
I once helped a friend change the oil in a Cadillac ATS-L, and that experience taught me that adding engine oil can't be taken lightly—about 4.7 liters is enough. The engine was a 2.0T type, and we prepared a 5-liter bucket for the oil change, but the actual measurement showed only about 4.7 liters were used. Adding too much can cause foaming, which not only dirties the engine bay but also increases fuel consumption. Later, I bought a simple oil pump to do it myself, but I almost made a mistake by not measuring accurately. Fortunately, the engine wasn’t damaged. Now, looking back, I always remind people to check the factory manual for confirmation, as oil capacity varies slightly by model. For every maintenance session, it’s recommended to use an electronic scale or a graduated bucket to measure the oil precisely—saving money and hassle. The key to extending engine life lies in this detail: regular changes every 5,000 kilometers, using the right amount of high-quality oil. Don’t cut corners or rely on guesswork.
Changing engine oil may seem simple, but precise measurement is crucial. The Cadillac ATS-L recommends 4.7 liters. As an auto repair professional, I've seen too many owners cause problems by careless pouring. First, check the vehicle manual to confirm capacity, prepare a 5W-30 viscosity oil, let the engine cool for a few minutes before draining, completely remove old oil, then slowly pour in new oil – never exceed 4.7 liters. Use the dipstick to check the level stays between markers; overfilling causes foaming leading to overheating or leaks. Remember to drive briefly after refilling, then recheck for stability. Regular maintenance prevents carbon buildup, saving major repair costs. Details make the difference – if inexperienced, it's best to schedule professional service. Try DIY only if confident.
