How many liters of engine oil should be added to the Haval F7x?

Haval F7x requires 4.5 liters of engine oil. It is generally recommended to fill the oil between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick, and not below the middle mark. This is because high-speed driving can cause the engine to heat up, making the oil thinner. If the oil level is too low, it may reduce lubrication and cooling effects. As a coupe SUV from the Haval F series, the Haval F7x emphasizes ultimate coupe aesthetics, cutting-edge intelligent technology, and superior sports performance. The Haval F7x family includes the Extreme Intelligence and Fun Edition, Extreme Intelligence and Technology Edition, Extreme Intelligence and Sports Edition, and Performance Edition. In terms of body dimensions, the car measures 4620mm in length, 1846mm in width, and 1660mm in height.
My Haval F7x has a 1.5T engine. During the last maintenance, the technician told me that 4.5 liters of engine oil is optimal for this car. However, in practice, they first add 4 liters, start the engine for two minutes to circulate the new oil, then turn it off and check the dipstick. From my experience, the old oil is never completely drained, so the actual amount of new oil added is usually about 0.3 liters less. A crucial tip is not to pour the entire bottle of oil in at once; instead, add it gradually while checking the dipstick. The oil level should ideally be between the min and max marks. A side note: when changing the oil, the oil filter must be replaced simultaneously, as residual old oil can contaminate the new oil, wasting even the best full-synthetic oil. Use 0W-20 in winter and switch to 5W-30 in summer for smooth engine operation.
As a frequent visitor to the auto repair shop, the boss reminded me that the Haval F7x 2.0T version requires 5.5 liters of engine oil. The key point lies in the oil drainage method—draining on a flat lift is more thorough than on a slope. Last time, I saw the mechanic use compressed air to blow through the engine oil passage after draining the old oil, squeezing out an extra half cup of black, dirty oil. When using full synthetic oil, it's recommended to check the dipstick every 8,000 kilometers and top up half a liter if the oil level drops to the lower limit. Don't underestimate oil degradation; insufficient viscosity can cause hydraulic lifter noise. Once, I skipped changing the oil filter to save trouble, and the new oil turned black after just 2,000 kilometers.
