How many liters of gear oil does the Chery QQ3 use?
2 Answers
Chery QQ3 uses 3 liters of gear oil. Gear oil replacement method: The location for adding oil is near the exhaust pipe. After locating it, turn counterclockwise to unscrew the oil cap. There is an oil dipstick on the oil cap. When adding oil, fill it halfway—do not overfill, as the oil may overflow. After adding the oil, screw the oil cap back clockwise. There is a 17mm screw under the engine; unscrewing it will drain the oil. When changing the oil, always drain the old oil first before adding new oil—do not reverse the order. If the screw under the engine cannot be loosened, there is another screw on the opposite side of the engine that can also be unscrewed to drain the oil. Precautions: Gear oil replacement is similar to engine oil replacement—two screws need to be loosened. The upper one is for adding gear oil, and the lower one is for draining gear oil. The replacement interval for gear oil is generally 2000 kilometers.
The transmission fluid capacity for the Chery QQ3, based on my years of experience with compact cars, typically ranges between 1.5 to 2 liters for manual transmission models. Specifically, the QQ3 manual transmission requires approximately 1.8 liters. Changing the transmission fluid is a crucial part of routine maintenance as it lubricates the gears, preventing excessive wear and unusual noises. If not replaced regularly, the old fluid can become dirty and deteriorate, leading to rough shifting or even premature transmission failure, compromising driving safety. It is recommended to change the fluid every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers or every two years, using GL-4 specification fluid—no need for premium brands. The cost, including fluid and labor, is around 100 to 200 RMB. Opting for a reputable service center ensures peace of mind and allows for a thorough inspection of other components, preventing minor issues from escalating into major repairs. Proper maintenance ensures smoother and longer-lasting performance.
