How many liters of engine oil does the new Cayenne require?
1 Answers
The new Cayenne requires 7 liters of engine oil, while the high-end configuration requires 9 liters. Engine oils used in automobiles are categorized by specifications: Automotive engine oils are divided into three types: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full-synthetic oil. The reason for these classifications is that different types of oil serve different purposes. For example, in oil specifications, the number before 'W' represents the lowest temperature the oil can withstand. A smaller number indicates lower viscosity at low temperatures, better fluidity, and suitability for colder temperatures. The number after 'W' represents the oil's viscosity at 100°C, with higher numbers indicating higher viscosity and better engine protection under high-temperature conditions. Usage cycles for different types of engine oil: Mineral oil is refined from crude oil and has a shorter usage cycle. Typically, if a vehicle uses mineral oil, it needs to be replaced every 5,000 kilometers. Semi-synthetic oil has a longer usage cycle, around 7,500 kilometers. Full-synthetic oil is chemically synthesized and has a usage cycle of approximately 10,000 kilometers.
