2 Answers
The X-Trail requires approximately 4 liters of engine oil. Additional extended information is as follows: 1. The X-Trail is a compact 5-door, 5-seater SUV with body dimensions of: length 4675mm, width 1820mm, height 1722mm, and a wheelbase of 2706mm. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 2.0L engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 111 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 194 Newton-meters. The drivetrain configuration is front-engine, front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension utilizing a multi-link independent suspension.
I've been driving this X-Trail for over a decade and often do the maintenance myself. The amount of engine oil to add is quite particular. Generally, an X-Trail takes about 4.5 liters of oil, depending on the engine model: the gasoline-powered QR25 engine takes approximately 4.3 liters, while the diesel K9K might require up to 4.8 liters. I always check the owner's manual to confirm, because adding too much oil can cause high engine pressure, increased fuel consumption, or even oil leaks; too little oil leads to insufficient lubrication and faster engine wear. I usually buy 5-liter jugs of synthetic oil and pour it slowly, carefully checking the dipstick to reach the optimal mid-level mark. I change the oil every 5,000 kilometers along with a new filter to keep the engine running smoothly and extend the car's lifespan—saving money and giving peace of mind.
