How many liters of engine oil does the Geely Emgrand GS require?
3 Answers
3.5 liters is sufficient. Below is relevant information about the Emgrand GS: 1. Body dimensions: The Emgrand GS is a compact SUV under the Geely brand, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm, and length, width, and height of 4440 mm, 1833 mm, and 1560 mm respectively. 2. Powertrain: The Emgrand GS is equipped with three engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivers 141 horsepower and a maximum torque of 235 Nm, with a maximum power output at 5200 rpm and peak torque between 1600 to 4000 rpm. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine produces 177 horsepower and a maximum torque of 255 Nm, achieving maximum power at 5500 rpm and peak torque between 1500 to 4000 rpm. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine provides 133 horsepower and a maximum torque of 170 Nm, with maximum power at 6000 rpm and peak torque at 4400 rpm.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand GS for three to four years, and I usually add about 4 liters of oil during each oil change. The car has a 1.5L engine, and the manual recommends 4.2 liters, but 4 liters works just fine in practice. Adding too little oil can cause the engine to overheat and wear out faster. I once experienced insufficient oil, and the car made strange noises upon starting, which really startled me. On the other hand, adding too much oil is also problematic—exceeding the upper limit can lead to excessive oil pressure, resulting in leaks. A friend's car had its oil seal break after overfilling, costing a lot in repairs. I stick to changing the oil every 8,000 kilometers, using full synthetic oil like Great Wall or Shell's 5W-30 type, which is suitable for both winter and summer. After an oil change, I always check the dipstick to ensure the level is in the middle—this keeps the car running smoothly and improves fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance shouldn't be overlooked. Doing it yourself can save money, but always wear gloves and dispose of used oil properly—safety comes first.
I just bought a used Emgrand GS and I'm a young novice driver. Last month, I tried changing the engine oil myself. The 4S shop technician said about 4 liters would be enough. The car has a 1.4T turbocharged engine, and the oil quantity should be controlled at slightly over 4 liters without overfilling. Too much oil increases engine resistance and fuel consumption; too little oil leads to insufficient lubrication and starting difficulties. I used Castrol 5W-40 fully synthetic oil, and after the change, the engine noise reduced and acceleration improved. It's recommended to drive for a few minutes after changing the oil and then check the dipstick to maintain the oil level at the midpoint. During maintenance, change the oil every 6,000 to 8,000 kilometers—don't slack off. Changing oil is simple and cost-effective for beginners, but be careful not to spill oil; having a helper makes it safer. Engine oil is the heart of the car; regular changes extend the car's lifespan and ensure smoother driving.
