How many liters of transmission oil should be added to the Trumpchi GS5?

The Trumpchi GS5 requires approximately 3 liters of transmission oil, which should be replaced every 80,000 kilometers or 4 years. Transmission oil is a lubricant used to maintain the cleanliness of the gear system, prolonging the life of the transmission components. It provides effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions. Below are the methods for replacing transmission oil: 1. Lift the vehicle, unscrew the transmission oil pan bolt at the bottom of the car, and allow the transmission oil to drain naturally. Once no more oil flows out, tighten the bolt and refill with new transmission oil. This method is economical and straightforward, but the oil replacement rate is relatively low, as the old oil at the bottom of the transmission pan may not be completely drained. 2. Use an oil changer. The oil changer can inject new oil into the transmission while simultaneously extracting the mixed old and new oil until the oil inside the transmission becomes clear. This method is convenient but consumes more new oil and incurs higher replacement costs.
I remember once when I was working on the GS5's transmission. The automatic transmission fluid replacement volume for this car is generally around 6 to 7 liters, depending on the model year, so it's best to check the owner's manual or confirm with the 4S shop first. Never underestimate this amount - adding too much fluid can cause leaks and affect the cooling system; adding too little increases transmission friction and accelerates part wear. I personally recommend changing it every 60,000 kilometers or so, using the right type of fluid like synthetic ATF. Proper maintenance like this keeps the car running smoothly and extends its lifespan. If you're doing it yourself, pay attention to operating when the fluid temperature is stable - otherwise inaccurate measurements can backfire. It's safer to get help from an experienced friend.
