How much engine oil should be added to the Maxus 2.0?
2 Answers
The SAIC Maxus 2.0T engine requires 5L of engine oil, and the recommended oil type is 5W-30. The differences between types of engine oil are as follows: Semi-synthetic oil: Semi-synthetic oil is one type of automotive engine oil. It is formulated using semi-synthetic base oil, specifically international Group III base oil. It is a product refined from mineral oil through hydrocracking technology, consisting of a 4:6 ratio of mineral oil to full synthetic oil. Semi-synthetic oil's purity is very close to that of full synthetic oil, but its cost is slightly higher than mineral oil, making it an ideal transitional product from mineral oil to synthetic oil. Full synthetic oil: Full synthetic oil can operate over a wider temperature range and has a longer service life. For the same oil film requirements, full synthetic oil can achieve the desired performance with lower viscosity, whereas semi-synthetic oil requires a relatively higher viscosity to meet the same requirements. Conventional mineral oil: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new properties. Additives are an important component of lubricating oil.
When I service my Maxus G10 2.0T, 5 liters of engine oil is usually sufficient. The owner's manual clearly states the recommended standard amount is 5.0 liters. I always prepare five 1-liter bottles of high-quality synthetic oil to pour in, whether at the dealership or when changing the oil myself. I remember one time a friend added an extra bottle of oil, which caused the engine to run rough and noisy. We immediately drained the excess, and it ran smoothly again. This reminds me to measure accurately and not to add or reduce oil arbitrarily, as it wastes oil and can damage the engine. I check the oil level every 8,000 kilometers, keeping it at the mid-mark for optimal engine longevity.
