How Many Liters of Transmission Oil Should Be Added to the Baojun 730?

Baojun 730 requires two liters of transmission oil. The process for changing the transmission oil is as follows: lift the vehicle, unscrew the drain plug to drain the oil, wait until the transmission oil is completely drained, then tighten the drain plug, add the transmission oil, and check the dipstick until the oil level reaches the standard mark. Start the vehicle, check the oil level on the dipstick again, and inspect the bottom for any leaks. The Baojun 730 is an MPV produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. In terms of dimensions, it measures 4780mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1740mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. It is powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As someone who frequently helps fellow car enthusiasts with maintenance, I've manually added transmission fluid to the manual 730 three times myself. The manual transmission fluid capacity for this car is between 1.8 to 2.2 liters, depending on how thoroughly the old fluid is drained. For a gravity drain, two 1L bottles will leave you with some leftover, but never estimate the amount. The manual specifies 2.1±0.1 liters, but in practice I prefer to slowly add fluid after loosening the drain plug until new fluid starts seeping from the overflow hole. The last time I used a machine to change automatic transmission fluid was more complicated, requiring about 4 liters. Remember to park the car on level ground when changing fluid, and measure the fluid temperature between 45-55°C for accuracy. By the way, using GL-4 grade 75W-90 oil is crucial - using the wrong type can damage the synchronizers.
