How much engine oil should be added to the 2018 Magotan 330?

The 2018 Magotan 330 requires 6 liters of engine oil. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Below are the key functions of engine oil: 1. Friction reduction: A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of moving parts, thereby minimizing wear. 2. Sealing: Engine oil forms a seal between the piston rings and pistons, reducing gas leakage and preventing contaminants from entering. 3. Rust prevention: The lubricant adheres to part surfaces, protecting them from water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. 4. Shock absorption: When pressure in the engine cylinder rises sharply, the sudden increase in load on the pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings is mitigated through the lubricating transmission of the bearings, cushioning the impact. 5. Cleaning: High-quality engine oil can carry away carbon deposits, sludge, and metal wear particles from engine components back to the oil pan, cleaning the parts as the oil circulates.
My 2018 Magotan 330 always takes a bit over 5 liters of oil during each maintenance service. The 4S shop technician says this is the standard amount. When changing oil, the old oil must be completely drained, then new oil is slowly added. After filling, the engine needs to run for a few minutes before shutting off, then wait a few more minutes to check the dipstick for accurate reading. Once, overfilling nearly caused issues - the engine sound became muffled and throttle response sluggish, but it returned to normal after removing half a liter. Now I always supervise the oil change to ensure the dipstick shows the middle mark, especially since turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil pressure. The manual states 5.4 liters, but in reality, changing the oil filter consumes about 0.3 liters.
