How much engine oil can be added at one time?

How much engine oil can be added at one time depends on the type of engine, with the addition amount ranging from 3.5 to 8 liters. You can check the oil dipstick scale after adding the oil. Here are the details: Oil dipstick scale: There are two marks on the oil dipstick, one is the maximum mark, and the other is the minimum mark. The normal oil level should not be higher than the maximum mark or lower than the minimum mark. The oil level between these two marks is considered normal. Method for checking the oil level: After adding the oil, start the vehicle and then check the oil level 3 minutes after turning off the engine. This is because the oil filter needs to be replaced along with the oil, and the newly replaced oil filter does not contain any oil. After starting the vehicle, the oil will flow into the oil filter. Waiting for 3 minutes after turning off the engine allows the oil to flow back into the oil pan, ensuring a more accurate reading. Remember not to check the oil level on a slope, as the vehicle's tilt will cause the oil in the oil pan to tilt as well, resulting in an inaccurate oil level reading.
