How many liters of engine oil does the Nissan Sylphy Classic require?
2 Answers
The Nissan Sylphy Classic requires 3 liters of engine oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperatures; 2. To reduce gas leakage and prevent contamination from external pollutants; 3. To protect components from contact with water, air, and harmful acidic gases; 4. To cushion the pressure rise in the engine cylinder ports; 5. To flush away dirt generated on the working surfaces of components. The method to check the engine oil level is: 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface; 2. After parking for 10 minutes, pull out the dipstick; 3. Hold the dipstick perpendicular to the ground to check the oil level. The body dimensions of the Nissan Sylphy Classic are: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, a minimum ground clearance of 166mm, a curb weight of 1188kg, and a trunk capacity of 50 liters.
I've been driving the Nissan Sylphy Classic for several years, and the usual oil capacity is around 4 liters, especially for most models with the 1.6L engine. Before refilling, remember to turn off the engine and wait a few minutes to let the old oil settle, then use the dipstick to check the oil level—it shouldn’t be too high or too low. Don’t pour too much at once; stop after adding about half and check the level to avoid overfilling, which can lead to excessive oil pressure or oil burning issues. I use full synthetic oil, such as the 0W-20 grade, and during each oil change for maintenance, 4 liters is just enough to fill the system. Adding too little can cause insufficient lubrication and wear out engine parts, so I always make sure not to skimp on oil costs. Smooth driving relies on these maintenance details, especially in city driving with frequent starts and stops, where extra care is needed.
