2 Answers
Cadillac XT5 requires 4.8 liters of engine oil, which serves functions such as lubrication, cleaning, sealing, heat dissipation, cushioning, and rust prevention in the engine. The Cadillac XT5 is a mid-size 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4813mm in length, 1903mm in width, and 1682mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2857mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 174 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The vehicle features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a five-link independent suspension at the rear.
I've been driving a Cadillac XT5 for five years, and my experience with adding engine oil has been quite important. Generally, the XT5 requires about 5.7 liters of synthetic oil, depending on the engine model—my car uses this amount. Never add oil carelessly; too much can cause oil foaming, reducing lubrication effectiveness, while too little may lead to engine overheating and faster wear. I recommend always checking the owner's manual during oil changes, as it specifies the exact amount and may recommend oil types like 0W-20. For regular maintenance, I stick to an oil change interval of every 8,000 kilometers, also checking the air filter to prevent impurities from affecting the oil's performance. Overall, maintaining the right oil level and quality not only extends engine life but also saves some fuel costs.
