Envision requires approximately 5 liters of engine oil. When adding oil, simply fill it between the min and max marks. Engine oil, also known as motor oil or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. The Envision is General Motors' global next-generation strategic model. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1660mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. Exterior features include a new smart drag-reducing grille, aluminum roof rails, new chrome dual exhaust pipes, 19-inch multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and multi-function exterior mirrors.

I've been driving the Envision for several years. Adding too little engine oil can damage the engine, while adding too much can cause foaming and reduce lubrication effectiveness. The standard amount is marked in the user manual as approximately 5.7 liters, but during an actual oil change, after draining the old oil with professional tools, you typically add 4.5 to 5 liters of new oil. Remember to check the dipstick to ensure the oil level is between the min and max marks. The Envision's engine design is quite precise, and synthetic oil like 5W-30 is best for extending its service life. It's recommended to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers or every six months. Changing the oil yourself can save money, but if you lack experience, it's better to go to a professional shop to avoid issues. Always check the oil filter during each maintenance to prevent clogging and oil pressure problems. Checking the dipstick before driving is a simple and safe habit that can save you from costly repairs.

As a seasoned car enthusiast, I'm well-versed in the Envision's characteristics, where precise oil quantity is crucial. The manual specifies a 5.7L capacity, but don't follow it mechanically in practice. Before adding oil, start the engine to warm it up slightly, facilitating complete drainage of old oil. When refilling, pour in batches—for example, pause to check the dipstick after each liter, stopping when the level reaches the midpoint. Overfilling increases resistance and fuel consumption; underfilling causes overheating and internal wear. I recommend using premium synthetic oil—regular changes prevent sludge buildup and performance issues. Don't overlook these details; they impact driving safety and engine longevity. During maintenance, always inspect the filter condition alongside oil level checks for cost-effective peace of mind.

What Causes the ABS Light to Illuminate in a Jaguar?

ABS light illumination can occur in various states, with different causes and solutions for each state, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light remains constantly lit (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS control unit from determining the vehicle speed and wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the contaminants from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal operation. Cause 2: Poor signal transmission due to loose system wiring connections or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system malfunction. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple electrical components are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As engine speed increases, voltage rises, and the ABS light turns off. This may also occur due to insufficient power supply voltage to the ABS system, such as poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light remains lit after engine startup until the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor electrical connector contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS control unit malfunction. Solution: Loosen and then retighten the grounding screw on the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check for enlarged connector gaps; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS control unit detects a significant discrepancy between rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's specified tire and wheel rim specifications, typically listed on the fuel tank cap sticker. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal and manually push the brake switch linkage fully downward, then release the pedal to complete self-positioning; replace the brake light switch if necessary. If the ABS warning light is illuminated, it is advisable not to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, preventing the driver from slowing down or adjusting the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks.
