I've been driving the VV5 for three years now, and I usually handle the oil changes myself. This model typically requires 4.5 liters of oil, which is based on the standard capacity of the 2.0T engine. I remember the first time I changed the oil, I poured in 5 liters directly, only to find out from the dipstick that it had overflowed a bit. I had to drain some out and clean up, which was quite a hassle. Now, I strictly follow the recommended amount in the user manual. Before each oil change, I make sure to drain all the old oil completely and then carefully pour in 4.5 liters. Controlling the oil amount is crucial—too little can cause the engine to overheat or wear out parts, while too much can lead to leaks or environmental contamination. I recommend replacing the oil filter with each oil change and using full synthetic oil for better wear resistance and extended maintenance intervals. It's also a good habit to check the oil level every 7,000 kilometers or so, as it can save a lot of trouble and keep the engine running smoothly.
As a new VV5 owner, I've specifically studied the manual for answers on oil refilling. The standard capacity is 4.5 liters - never arbitrarily add more or less. Beginners often make the mistake of overfilling or pouring too quickly, resulting in a high dipstick reading and waste. My suggestion is to first pour 4 liters, start the engine and drive for a minute or two, then check after turning off before topping up the remaining 0.5 liters to reach the standard mark. Insufficient oil will trigger warning lights and compromise safety, while overfilling causes engine overheating. Always choose the right specification matching your engine, such as 5W-30 viscosity for proper lubrication. Maintenance-wise, regular oil changes are crucial - I do mine every six months or 8,000km to prevent carbon buildup. Simply put, 4.5 liters keeps the car running smoothly. Pro tip: store unopened fresh oil containers properly for backup.
