How many liters of oil should be added to the Dodge Journey 2.7?
2 Answers
The Dodge Journey 2.7 requires 78 liters of oil. Precautions for refueling are: 1. Refuel in the morning or evening to avoid direct sunlight at noon; 2. Add more fresh oil before long-distance trips; 3. Do not exceed the upper limit of the fuel tank; 4. Do not use electronic devices; 5. Smoking is prohibited; 6. Park, turn off the engine, and cut off the power. Taking the 2010 Dodge Journey as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4888mm, width 1878mm, height 1745mm, wheelbase of 2890mm, minimum ground clearance of 183mm, fuel tank capacity of 78 liters, and curb weight of 1755kg.
The Dodge Journey 2.7 typically comes with a 2.7-liter engine, and when changing the oil, including the filter, it generally requires about 5.5 liters, depending on your vehicle's condition and the type of oil used. I've been driving this car for several years, and during every maintenance session, I have the mechanic use synthetic oil for the oil change to ensure smooth engine operation. Adding too much oil can increase engine load and lead to oil leaks, while adding too little can cause excessive friction and overheating, damaging the components. Therefore, I regularly check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it stays between the min and max marks. It's recommended to change the oil every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, and using SAE 5W-30 standard oil works best, especially for easier cold starts in winter. If you don’t drive the car for extended periods, pay extra attention to the oil quality to avoid sludge buildup. Neglecting such small details could lead to costly major repairs, so spending a little time on maintenance can save you a lot of hassle.
