How Much Engine Oil Should Be Added to the BYD Tang?

[SanLily]

BYD Tang requires 4 liters of engine oil. Below are the specific details regarding the amount of engine oil for the BYD Tang: 1. The BYD Tang uses SN-grade 5W-40 engine oil. It is understood that this oil is supplied by Fuchs to BYD. For an oil change during maintenance (including the replacement of the oil filter), 4 liters are required. 2. If there are oil additives or if the old oil is not completely drained, the amount of oil to be added may vary. The exact amount should be determined based on the oil scale on the instrument panel, adding until the MAX mark is reached. 3. Turn the vehicle's power to the ON position and check the oil level using the electronic dipstick. If the engine oil is found to be below the MIN mark, unscrew the engine oil filler cap and add oil until the oil level reaches the MAX mark on the dipstick.

I've been driving a BYD Tang for almost three years. The engine oil capacity for this model is generally around 4.5 liters, but it specifically depends on whether you have the hybrid or pure fuel version and the model year. The most reliable method is to check the owner's manual or directly ask the customer service at a 4S shop—they'll give you the exact number based on your specific model. During my last maintenance, they measured it, and the technician said that insufficient oil can cause engine overheating and wear, while overfilling may increase fuel consumption, potentially lead to oil leaks, and affect the vehicle's overall lifespan. I make it a habit to regularly check the oil dipstick level, keeping it between MAX and MIN marks. In short, don't guess the amount yourself—getting it wrong could cause serious trouble. I recommend new drivers seek professional assistance.

As a daily driver of a BYD Tang, I believe that the amount of engine oil should not be taken lightly, typically ranging between 4 to 5 liters, depending on your engine model and size. If you add too much oil, the oil pressure will increase, leading to oil seal leaks or cylinder burning. Adding too little is even more dangerous, as insufficient lubrication will quickly wear out and damage engine components. When I add oil myself, I always use the dipstick to measure multiple times to ensure the level is within the marked range. Also, remember to clean the filter when changing the oil. Don't just rely on online advice; it's best to refer to the official manual. Otherwise, the repair costs could be steep if something goes wrong.

I own a BYD Tang hybrid, and the first time I added engine oil, I didn't check the manual and got the amount wrong. It turned out that about 4 liters wasn't enough, so I had to top it up again. The usual oil capacity is around 4.5 liters, but it depends on the car's condition and age. Adding too little can make the car noisier and slower to accelerate, while adding too much may lead to sludge buildup. Now, before every maintenance, I always ask the mechanic to check it first to ensure safety and peace of mind.
