How many liters of engine oil should be added for the Envision 1.5T?

The Envision 1.5T requires approximately 4.5 liters of engine oil for each maintenance service. The replacement interval is about one year or 10,000 kilometers. If the vehicle is driven less frequently, the oil can be changed once a year. However, for vehicles frequently used for long-distance travel or in poor condition, it is advisable to replace the oil every 10,000 kilometers or every six months. Prolonging the replacement interval may potentially cause damage to the engine. Steps for changing engine oil: Lift the vehicle, remove the underbody cover, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain plug; loosen the drain plug, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, tighten the drain plug after draining, and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks; reinstall the underbody cover and lower the vehicle, then use a funnel to add oil through the filler port. Precautions when changing engine oil: Perform the change while the engine is warm to ensure the old oil is drained as thoroughly as possible; add the appropriate amount of oil; after adding oil, start the engine and check for any leaks. Run the engine for three minutes to confirm the oil level is at the normal mark.
I drive the Envision 1.5T model and just changed the engine oil myself a couple of days ago. Based on my experience, the 1.5T engine requires approximately 4.7 liters of oil, but don't pour it all in at once. Before changing the oil, warm up the engine for 5 minutes and then turn it off. After draining the old oil, first add 4 liters, wait a few minutes for the oil to flow into the oil pan, then pull out the dipstick to check the level. If it's not enough, add 200 ml each time until the oil level reaches the middle to upper mark on the dipstick. The worst thing is overfilling, which can cause oil burning and damage the catalytic converter. The maintenance manual states a maximum of 5.4 liters, but I recommend preparing just 5 liters, as some old oil remains in the oil filter during the change.
