How Many Liters of Transmission Oil Should Be Added to the Emgrand GS?

Geely Emgrand GS requires 4L of transmission oil. The selection of oil should be based on the engine requirements. This vehicle is equipped with a turbocharged engine, and fully synthetic oil can be used. It is recommended to use 5W-30 oil. Below are the benefits of using fully synthetic oil: 1. Wider temperature range. 2. Less prone to deterioration, lower evaporation loss, and longer service life compared to conventional oil. 3. Excellent chemical stability, good radiation resistance, high oil film strength, fewer foams, good lubrication, and reduced wear. 4. Reduced thermal degradation of oil, fuel savings, and better engine protection.
For the Emgrand GS model, the specific amount of transmission fluid required varies. From my hands-on experience with many similar cases: for automatic transmissions like DCT or CVT versions, the fluid volume typically ranges between 5 to 6 liters; whereas manual transmissions may only require around 4.5 liters. When changing the fluid, remember to completely drain the old oil before refilling—it's best to consult the manual or seek professional assistance. Personally, I recommend using manufacturer-specified oils, such as GL-4 or GL-5 grade, as this helps prolong transmission life. Generally, it should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers—prolonged use can lead to component wear and shifting difficulties. Additionally, ensure the vehicle is at operating temperature during fluid changes to avoid inaccurate cold fills. These details may seem minor, but they genuinely save on future repair costs and enhance driving smoothness, especially noticeable on mountain roads or in heavy traffic conditions.
Last time I went to the 4S shop to change the transmission oil for my Emgrand GS, the technician said the refill amount should be about 5.5 to 6 liters. As a car owner, I believe this kind of maintenance should never be taken lightly: overfilling may cause leaks or foaming that affects performance; underfilling can lead to overheating and damage. That time it cost me 300 RMB including labor and materials, the process was quite quick, and after the change, the car felt much smoother to drive with slightly better fuel efficiency. I recommend you also do regular maintenance, changing it every few years, don't wait until there's a problem. Pay attention to abnormal noises or jerking while driving normally, addressing issues early can save you big trouble, money, and give you peace of mind.
