How much engine oil should be added to the Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 oil filling is as follows: 1. The 1.5T model requires 5.5L; 2. The 2.0T model requires 6L when drained completely. 3. However, due to wear between the engine gears, it is best to buy a little more for daily top-ups. Here are some relevant details: 1. The Roewe RX5 uses 0W-30 fully synthetic oil. Because the vehicle operates with a turbocharger, the engine runs at high temperatures and speeds, so it has higher requirements for oil lubrication. The oil used must be genuine. If counterfeit or substandard oil is used, it will not only fail to protect the engine, lubricate the gears, and reduce wear, but it may also damage the engine and shorten the vehicle's lifespan. 2. Generally, with fully synthetic oil, maintenance is required once a year or every 10,000 kilometers.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for nearly two years. Every time I get an oil change during maintenance, the technician recommends adding around 4.2 liters, especially when replacing the oil filter. This model commonly features a 1.5T engine, and setting the oil capacity at 4.2 liters ensures optimal lubrication. Adding too little increases friction between engine components, leading to potential damage; overfilling causes oil foaming, wasting resources and affecting performance. I usually check the dipstick when the engine is cold, ensuring the level is between the min and max marks. An extra reminder: change the oil regularly every 5,000 kilometers, and synthetic oil offers better durability. A quick pre-drive check can extend both your car's and engine's lifespan.
