How much engine oil should be added to a Mondeo?

Mondeo requires 4.5 liters of engine oil. If it's a major overhaul without activation, approximately 5 liters are needed. The specific steps for adding engine oil are as follows: 1. Open the driver's side door; 2. Pull the hood release lever located on the left side of the driver's leg area; 3. Open the hood; 4. Unscrew the engine oil cap and add the engine oil; 5. The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. The Mondeo is a mid-size car introduced by Changan Ford, with dimensions of 4873mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1470mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2850mm. It is equipped with either a 1.5T or 2.0T turbocharged engine, with maximum power outputs of 134kw and 152kw respectively, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
My Ford Mondeo is the 2019 2.0T model. Every time I get it serviced, the repair shop adds between 4.5 to 5 liters of oil, usually using 5W-30 synthetic oil. Different engines may vary—for example, the 1.5L EcoBoost version takes around 4 liters. I always make it a habit to check the manual first because when doing a DIY oil change at the shop, checking the dipstick is crucial—the oil level must be between the high and low marks. Too little oil causes wear, while too much can lead to foaming and affect lubrication. Once, I got lazy and didn’t measure, ending up adding 5.5 liters, which was excessive. The engine started emitting black smoke, costing me hundreds in repairs. Regularly checking the oil every 5,000 km is important—don’t wait until the warning light comes on. Choosing a good brand like Mobil or Shell can make the car run smoother and improve fuel efficiency.
