How much engine oil should be added to the Haval F7?
3 Answers
Haval F7 requires approximately 4.5 liters of engine oil. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. The Haval F7 is a compact SUV with the following dimensions: length 4620 mm, width 1846 mm, height 1690 mm, wheelbase 2725 mm, ground clearance 169 mm, and fuel tank capacity 55 liters. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum power of 124 kW, with the maximum power achieved at 5000 to 5600 rpm and maximum torque available between 1400 to 3000 rpm.
I've been using the Haval F7 for over three years and I'm very familiar with oil changes. Generally, you need to add 4.5 liters each time, depending on whether the engine is a 1.5T or 2.0T model - 4.5 liters is usually enough for the 1.5T. I recommend using 5W-30 full synthetic oil, which is suitable for various temperatures. When performing the change, park on level ground, unscrew the drain plug to drain all the old oil, replace the oil filter, then slowly pour in the new oil. Don't pour too quickly or you'll create air bubbles that affect measurement accuracy. After filling, run the engine for 1-2 minutes, then turn it off and wait five minutes before checking the dipstick - the level should be between the minimum and maximum marks. Too much oil can cause excessive lubrication and smoke, while too little accelerates engine wear. Remember to change the oil every 5,000 kilometers or six months to prolong your car's life. Checking the oil is simple - just make it a regular habit.
Last time I tried DIY oil change for my F7, it was quite simple and saved me a hundred bucks. The Haval F7 usually takes 4.5 liters of oil, so I used a 4-liter big bottle plus a 0.5-liter small bottle to get it done. Just choose 5W-30 synthetic oil. Park on a flat surface, loosen the drain plug to let the old oil flow out completely, remember to replace the oil filter before pouring in the new oil. Pour the oil slowly to avoid spilling, and after filling, use the dipstick to check and ensure the oil level is within the safe range. Too little oil makes the engine noisy and wear out faster, while too much causes smoke and wastes money. It's recommended to change the oil every 5,000 km regularly, and using good oil significantly improves car performance. Doing it yourself isn't hard, there are video tutorials online for reference.
