How much engine oil does the Hongqi H5 require?
2 Answers
The Hongqi H5 requires 5 liters of engine oil. The functions of engine oil include lubrication, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, shock absorption, and anti-wear. Taking the 2020 Hongqi H5 as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of 4945mm in length, 1845mm in width, 1470mm in height, a wheelbase of 2875mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. The 2020 Hongqi H5 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, a maximum torque of 258Nm, and a maximum power of 124kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Hongqi H5 for almost three years now, and I must remind you about oil changes—never estimate it casually. The user manual clearly states the oil capacity is approximately 4.2 to 4.5 liters, depending on the specific engine model. For my 1.8T, it's 4.3 liters. When changing the oil, I always drain the old oil completely and check the dipstick level before adding new oil—filling to the middle mark is safest. Don’t overfill; exceeding the limit can damage sensors or cause leaks. Too little oil, on the other hand, risks excessive wear on internal engine parts. I recommend using 5W-30 viscosity oil and recalculating the amount after replacing the oil filter. Don’t forget to start the car for a few minutes and recheck to ensure even distribution. Generally, change it every six months or 5,000 kilometers—it saves hassle and money while extending the car’s lifespan.
