How many liters of engine oil does the Tiggo 8 require?
2 Answers
Tiggo 8 requires 4.7 liters of engine oil. Generally, adding 4 liters is sufficient, as this amount ensures the oil level on the dipstick remains between the minimum and maximum marks. The Tiggo 8 has a body size of 4700 mm in length, 1860 mm in width, and 1746 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2710 mm. In terms of safety features, this vehicle is equipped with ESC, ABS and EBD, daytime running lights, rear parking sensors and panoramic imaging, hill start assist, and active braking. For power, the Tiggo is paired with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, which is Chery's third-generation engine, delivering a maximum power of 145 kW and a maximum torque of 290 Nm. The transmission system is matched with Getrag's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, paired with a dual-clutch gearbox.
I've been driving a Chery Tiggo 8 for over three years and I'm quite familiar with oil changes. The Tiggo 8's oil capacity is generally around 4.5 liters, but it depends on your engine model—whether it's the 1.5T turbo or the standard 1.6T, they all fall within this range. I personally use 5W-30 full synthetic oil and change it every 8,000 kilometers, which has worked well for me. Don't overfill or underfill the oil—make sure to drain the old oil completely before adding the full 4.5 liters, and keep the oil level in the middle of the dipstick marks for safety. Too much or too little oil can damage the engine, like shortening its lifespan or increasing fuel consumption. Once, I added a bit too little, and the engine noise got louder, so I topped it up right away. I recommend checking the oil level regularly with the dipstick instead of relying on the warning light. Using the manufacturer-recommended oil brand is a safe bet. When I change the oil, I also clean the air filter for double maintenance, which keeps the car running smoother.
