How many liters of transmission oil does the GS4 require?
2 Answers
The GS4 requires 4 liters of transmission oil. 'Transmission oil' refers to the gearbox oil. Taking the 2020 manual comfort version GS4 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4545mm, width 1856mm, height 1668mm, with a wheelbase of 2680mm, a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, and a body weight of 1480kg. The 2020 manual comfort version GAC Trumpchi GS4 features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, a maximum power of 124kW, and a maximum torque of 265Nm.
I often get asked this question. The transmission fluid replacement quantity for the Trumpchi GS4 is approximately 4 to 5 liters, depending on the year and transmission type. For example, some models with dual-clutch DCT transmissions may require around 4 liters, while automatic AT transmissions might need slightly more—5 liters is not excessive. I remember when I was getting the fluid changed, the technician told me to use the dipstick for precise measurement. Adding too little can lead to insufficient lubrication of internal transmission components, causing overheating and gear wear; adding too much increases pressure, potentially leading to leaks and rough shifting, which is really dangerous. Additionally, the replacement interval is crucial—it's best to check every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Don't wait until the car starts jerking to regret it. In summary, always refer to the owner's manual or consult a dealership for the exact specifications before proceeding. Proper maintenance ensures a smooth and worry-free driving experience and can extend the vehicle's lifespan by a decade or more.
