How many liters of engine oil should be added to the Roewe 550?
2 Answers
The Roewe 550 can be filled with 4.9 liters of engine oil. The Roewe 550 generally uses A3/B3-5W/40 engine oil. In the oil specification, A3/B4 indicates that the oil is a high-viscosity oil, and 5W/40 means that the oil can be used in both winter and summer. The smaller the number representing the winter part, and the larger the number representing the summer part, the higher the viscosity of the oil. Engine oil selection: High-viscosity oil not only negatively impacts the vehicle's fuel consumption but also fails to protect the engine effectively. Another function of engine oil is cooling and heat dissipation. When high-viscosity oil is used blindly, the engine's oil cooling performance will inevitably weaken. Engine oils should not be mixed: The additive components in engine oils from different manufacturers are completely different. The chemical compositions of various additives can vary significantly, not just between different brands but even within the same brand's different product lines. When oils from two brands are mixed, chemical reactions can occur under the engine's high temperatures, such as the formation of flocculants in the oil or an increase in viscosity.
I've been driving the Roewe 550 for over a decade and know all about its maintenance. This car usually takes about 4.5 liters of engine oil – never too much or too little, just check the dipstick to be sure. Overfilling can cause smoke, reduce power, and increase fuel consumption, while underfilling can damage engine components. I always measure it myself during oil changes using a standard measuring cup – that's the way to go. Remember, most models come with either a 1.8L or 2.0L engine, depending on the year, and the manual specifies 4.5 liters with a 0.2-liter tolerance. During routine maintenance, check the oil color – if it's black, change it early. It's best to service every 5,000 kilometers to save money, avoid hassle, and extend the car's lifespan.
