How much engine oil should be added to the Besturn B70?

Besturn B70 requires four liters of engine oil. Method for checking the engine oil level in Besturn B70: Reinsert the cleaned oil dipstick back into its place, ensuring it is fully inserted, then pull it out again. The oil adhering to the very end of the dipstick can now be used to check the level. Observe the oil stuck on the dipstick; if the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks, this is the most ideal position, indicating that the engine has just the right amount of oil. Functions of engine oil: Lubrication: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. Auxiliary cooling: When the engine is running, the oil carries heat back to the oil tank and dissipates it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. The actual cooling is done by the water outside the engine casing. Sealing and leakage prevention: The oil can form a seal between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering. Shock absorption: When the pressure at the engine cylinder port rises sharply, suddenly increasing the load on the piston, piston rings, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings, this load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, cushioning the impact load.
I've been driving the Besturn B70 for several years and always remember the oil capacity is about 4.5 liters per service, but don't take my word for it—check your manual or ask the 4S shop. For example, the 1.8T engine might take 4.3 liters, while the 2.0L is closer to 4.5 liters. I recommend checking the dipstick when the engine is cold before adding oil; it should be between the MIN and MAX marks. Too much or too little can cause issues: excess oil may lead to leaks and foaming, while insufficient oil increases engine wear and fuel consumption. I once made the mistake of overfilling, which slightly increased fuel consumption, so I had to change it promptly. Stick to regular oil changes every 5,000-8,000 km using full synthetic oil like 5W-30—it protects the engine and extends its lifespan. Don't skimp on maintenance; saving a little now isn't worth it. Always go to a reliable place for oil changes to ensure genuine oil—avoid random small shops. Remember, timely maintenance prevents major problems and gives you peace of mind while driving.
Buddy, adding engine oil isn't something to mess around with. The Besturn B70 generally takes 4.5 liters, but it depends on the engine. For example, the new 1.8T model takes about 4.3 liters. I've tried doing it myself—let the engine cool for ten minutes first, then check with the dipstick. The level shouldn't be too high or too low. Overfilling can cause smoking, while too little can lead to cylinder wear. I recommend using 5W-30 oil for better fuel efficiency and responsiveness. I've tried several brands, and they all work well. Just change the oil every 5,000 km; going beyond that can cause carbon buildup and affect performance. When changing the oil yourself, take it slow—pour carefully to avoid spills. Also, check the oil filter and oil pan to ensure a good seal. Doing this regularly can save you money and hassle, keeping the engine running like new even after 100,000 km. Safe driving is all about the details.
