How many liters of transmission oil should be added to the Roewe RX5?
4 Answers
The Roewe RX5 requires 5 liters of transmission oil. If using a circulation machine for oil change, 9 liters should be prepared. The circulation machine method changes the transmission oil while the vehicle is running, allowing the oil to flow internally and flush out contaminants from the transmission, resulting in a thorough and clean oil change. Function of transmission oil: Transmission oil is used to keep the gear system clean, lubricate and extend the lifespan of the transmission components. It provides effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions and reduces oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Replacement requirements: When changing transmission oil, it is essential to use the manufacturer-specified automatic transmission oil. This is because different automatic transmissions have varying internal structures, friction components, and sealing components. The original manufacturer's oil is specially formulated based on the transmission's structure and materials. Even high-quality oils from other brands may not be suitable.
As a Roewe RX5 owner, I inquired at the 4S shop last year when changing the transmission fluid. For automatic transmission models, the refill quantity ranges between 6 to 7 liters depending on the transmission type. My car took about 6.5 liters. Fluid replacement must be done meticulously – insufficient oil leads to inadequate lubrication, accelerating gear wear and causing jerky driving; overfilling increases oil pressure, potentially causing leaks and component damage. I change mine every two years or 50,000 km, and always ask the technician to thoroughly flush the system using a circulation machine. Driving smoothly is important, and the difference after fluid change is noticeably smoother. I recommend checking your vehicle's manual for model year specifications and having it done professionally – don't cut corners. If doing it yourself, measure precisely, otherwise you might end up spending more on repairs later.
Having driven for over twenty years and changed the transmission oil of many Roewe RX5s, I've learned that automatic transmissions generally require 6-7 liters, while manual transmissions need less, about 4 liters. Never estimate the amount; it's best to use the dipstick to measure to the midpoint. Incorrect oil levels can cause serious issues: insufficient oil leads to overheating and clutch burnout, while excess oil causes foaming and transmission failure. During regular maintenance, I opt for genuine oil and replace it every 60,000 kilometers. The oil change process involves draining the old oil and adding new oil, typically a bit over 6 liters. Common mistakes include using the wrong oil grade or overfilling, so it's more reliable to have a professional workshop handle it. Regular checks of the oil temperature signal can help detect abnormalities early.
The amount of transmission fluid required for a Roewe RX5 varies by model. Automatic transmissions typically need around 6 to 7 liters. Avoid overfilling or underfilling, as it affects transmission efficiency. Using professional tools for fluid changes ensures safer operation. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent malfunctions and extend service life.
