Geely Emgrand GS 1.4T requires 4L of engine oil. The choice of engine oil should be based on the engine's requirements. This vehicle is equipped with a turbocharged engine, and fully synthetic oil can be used. It is recommended to use 5W-30 grade engine oil. The following are the benefits of using fully synthetic oil: 1. It has a wider temperature range. 2. It is less prone to deterioration, has low evaporation loss, and a longer service life compared to conventional oil. 3. It has excellent chemical stability, good radiation resistance, high oil film strength, and less foaming, providing good lubrication and reduced wear. 4. It has minimal thermal degradation, saves fuel, and better protects the engine.
My friend drives the 1.4T version of this car, and he says that for each oil change during maintenance, it usually takes around 4 liters. However, the exact amount depends on your car's condition. If you're changing both the oil and the filter, around 4.2 liters might be just right, but don't add too much or too little, as it can cause engine problems like increased wear or reduced power. Before adding oil, make sure the car is parked on level ground and warmed up, then check the dipstick—the middle mark is ideal. I recommend checking the oil level regularly and changing it every 5,000 kilometers for safety, otherwise excessive oil consumption can damage the engine. When choosing oil, go for a 5W-30 full synthetic—it's affordable and offers good protection. A reputable domestic brand will do. In short, don’t slack off—ask the shop mechanics or check the manual to avoid unnecessary repair costs.
