How Many Liters of Engine Oil Does the Volkswagen Passat Require?
1 Answers
The total engine oil capacity for the Volkswagen Passat is 4.5 liters. When adding oil, it should be done based on actual conditions, adding small amounts multiple times to avoid overfilling, which could damage the engine. Below is an introduction to automotive engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. Additional information: 1. In engine oil labeled 5W40, the '5' indicates the oil's low-temperature fluidity—the smaller the number, the lower the ambient temperature it can be used in, and the better it protects the engine during cold starts. 2. The viscosity of lubricating oil is often indicated using SAE grade classifications. Oil grades are represented by a combination of two letters.
