How many liters of engine oil should be added to a Cadillac ATS 2.0T?
2 Answers
Cadillac's 2.0T engine requires 5.7L of engine oil. Here is some additional information: 1. Oil type: The 2.0T engine uses DEXOS 10W20 oil. Since Cadillac has various models, the exact amount of oil to be added should be determined based on the vehicle's user manual. After adding the oil, you can check the oil dipstick. 2. Oil composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant and determines its basic properties. The additives in the oil help compensate for and improve any shortcomings in the base oil's performance. Engine oil is categorized into mineral oil and synthetic oil, with synthetic oil further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic oil.
I've been driving a Cadillac ATS 2.0T for several years, and the standard oil change requires about 5.7 liters each time. Once, I urgently changed the oil myself and added over 6 liters, which resulted in the engine running a bit sluggish and the oil pressure light flashing. Later, when I took it to the 4S shop for inspection, they said the excess oil caused foaming, leading to insufficient lubrication. They recommended using synthetic oil, such as the 0W-20 grade, preferably paired with an OEM oil filter to prevent residue from clogging the pipes. Generally, the oil should be changed every 7,500 to 10,000 kilometers—don't skimp on maintenance costs, as proper upkeep ensures the car runs smoothly and lasts longer. Remember to check the oil level with the dipstick; when the engine is cold, the oil level should be in the middle—too low or too high will accelerate wear.
