How many liters of engine oil should be added to the Cadillac XT5?

The 25T model of the Cadillac XT5 requires 4.8 liters of engine oil, while the 28T model requires 5.6 liters. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. The Cadillac XT5 is an SUV with body dimensions of 4813mm in length, 1903mm in width, and 1682mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2857mm. In terms of power, the Cadillac XT5 is equipped with a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine.
I've been driving a Cadillac XT5 for several years, and each oil change requires approximately 5.4 liters. This is based on my owner's manual and practical experience. The model is a 2017 with a 3.6L engine - capacities may vary slightly by year, so I recommend checking your vehicle's manual to confirm. Don't overfill as excess can damage engine components; too little means insufficient lubrication. I typically change oil every 7,500 km using full synthetic like 5W-30 grade to extend engine life. Driving smoothly also helps reduce oil consumption. Remember to account for the extra 0.2L typically needed when replacing the oil filter.
Having worked in the auto repair industry for a long time, I've found that the Cadillac XT5's standard oil capacity is 5.7 quarts, approximately 5.4 liters. This amount is sufficient for most models. However, remember to check the engine type, as newer hybrid versions might require slightly less. When changing oil, completely drain the old oil before adding new oil, and avoid overfilling to prevent oil spillage that could damage components. I recommend using branded synthetic oil with a maintenance interval of every 8,000 kilometers. By the way, if driving conditions are harsh, such as in dusty environments, consider changing oil earlier. Checking the dipstick to ensure the oil level is at the middle mark is a simple precaution that can prevent accidents.
