How much engine oil should be added to a 1.5L engine?
1 Answers
1.5L engines typically require 3.5-4.5L of engine oil, but this may vary depending on the vehicle model. You can check the oil dipstick scale after adding oil for specific details. Here's a detailed explanation: Meaning of the dipstick scale: The oil dipstick has two marks: a maximum level and a minimum level. The normal oil quantity should not exceed the maximum mark or fall below the minimum mark; it should remain between these two marks. Method for checking the oil level: After adding oil, start the vehicle and then turn it off. Wait for 3 minutes before checking the oil level. This is because when changing the oil, the oil filter also needs to be replaced. The new oil filter initially contains no oil, and starting the vehicle allows oil to flow into it. Waiting for 3 minutes ensures the oil flows back into the oil pan, providing a more accurate reading. Remember not to check the oil level on a slope, as the tilt of the vehicle causes the oil in the oil pan to tilt as well, resulting in an inaccurate measurement.
