How much engine oil should be added to the Elysee at one time?
2 Answers
The Elysee requires 4 liters of engine oil per refill. The method for changing its engine oil is as follows: 1. Use a jack to lift the vehicle, locate the oil drain bolt, and loosen it to drain the oil; 2. Unscrew the oil filter and place a container beneath it; 3. Replace with a new oil filter and add new engine oil. The Elysee is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4427mm, width 1748mm, height 1476mm, wheelbase 2652mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 86kW at 6000rpm.
I'm happy to share my experience when I see this question. Having driven a car like the Elysee for several years, the amount of oil needed usually depends on the engine model. For example, a common 1.6L engine requires about 4 liters of oil, but this isn't a fixed value. It's best to check the owner's manual to confirm the exact amount. I always make it a habit to check the dipstick during each oil change. After the engine cools down, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and check that the oil level is between the minimum and maximum marks. If it's low, add oil slowly instead of pouring it all in at once. Overfilling increases engine pressure and can lead to oil leaks and component damage, while underfilling results in insufficient lubrication and reduced power. Also, make sure to choose the right oil grade. For instance, use a thinner oil like 0W-20 in winter for easier starts, and 5W-30 in summer for better engine protection and durability. Regular maintenance, such as changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers along with the filter, is the most hassle-free approach.
