How many liters of transmission oil should be added to the Emgrand GS?
3 Answers
Emgrand GS transmission oil should be added 4 liters. The following is the information about Emgrand GS: 1. In terms of configuration, Emgrand GS comes standard with electric adjustable rearview mirrors, rearview mirror heating, daytime running lights, automatic headlights and other configurations. 2. The interior of Emgrand GS adopts Geely's latest family-style design language, and also comes standard with a multifunctional steering wheel, automatic air conditioning, reverse radar and other configurations. 3. In terms of space, one fist of headroom and two fists of legroom are at a good level among models of the same class. Although the 1.3T and 1.8L engines of Emgrand GS are not particularly outstanding among models of the same class, they are equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Emgrand GS for almost three years and have changed the transmission fluid twice. Manual transmissions typically require about 1.8 liters, while automatic transmissions need approximately 5.5-6 liters, depending on whether you're doing a gravity drain or a machine flush. Gravity draining saves on materials but only replaces about one-third of the old fluid, whereas machine flushing is more thorough but requires around 12 liters of fluid. Make sure to choose the correct fluid specification – don't mix up GL-4 and GL-5. Last time during maintenance, the mechanic double-checked with the dipstick and mentioned that overfilling can make the transmission feel sluggish, while underfilling risks insufficient lubrication. It's best to check your vehicle's maintenance manual, as transmission models may vary by year.
Last time when helping a friend deal with the transmission issue on his Emgrand GS, I specifically researched the oil capacity standards. For manual transmissions, 1.8-2 liters is generally sufficient, while CVT automatic transmissions require 5.5-6 liters. During actual oil changes, you need to account for residual oil in the pipelines, so it's best to prepare an extra 0.5 liters. After refilling, start the engine and engage the gears for a few minutes to let the oil temperature rise before rechecking the dipstick - the optimal level is in the middle of the markings. Remember not to check when the engine is cold as the reading won't be accurate. The auto repair shop owner in our neighborhood mentioned seeing many cases of oil seal leaks caused by overfilling - this is definitely not an area to cut corners.
