How many liters of engine oil should be added during the maintenance of SsangYong Actyon?
2 Answers
During the maintenance of SsangYong Actyon, approximately 3.5-4 liters of engine oil should be added. Composition of automotive engine oil: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining the basic properties of the lubricant. Additives can compensate for and improve the deficiencies in the performance of the base oil, imparting certain new properties, making them an important part of the lubricating oil. Importance of automotive engine oil: The condition of the engine oil not only directly affects the working state of the engine but also influences the engine's lifespan. The working environment of engine oil is extremely harsh, with impurities produced by gasoline combustion polluting the oil. Over time, the oil will oxidize and deteriorate.
Last time I took my SsangYong Actyon 2.0T diesel for maintenance, the 4S technician told me it needed 5.5 liters of engine oil. But this amount really depends on the specific engine model - mine being a diesel, it has a bigger appetite. Always check the dipstick twice: first wait five minutes after filling to check once, then drive around the block and check again - the ideal level is right in the middle. Don't just take their word for how much to add, keeping an eye on it yourself is always better. Also, for modern vehicles with DPF particulate filters, you must use C3 grade low-ash oil. It's more expensive, but dealing with a clogged exhaust system is far worse. The owner's manual is actually quite reliable - digging it out from the drawer for reference gives extra peace of mind.
