How much oil should be added to an N52 engine?
1 Answers
N52 engine requires approximately 6 liters of oil. Additional information: 1. Checking after shutdown: After adding oil, start the vehicle for a short while, then turn it off and wait for 3 minutes before checking. This is because when changing the oil, the oil filter also needs to be replaced. The new oil filter initially contains no oil, and after starting the vehicle, oil will flow into the filter. Waiting for 3 minutes allows the oil to settle into the oil pan, ensuring a more accurate measurement. It is important not to check the oil level on a slope, as the tilt of the vehicle will cause the oil in the oil pan to be uneven, leading to an inaccurate reading. 2. Overfilling oil: Adding too much oil can interfere with the normal operation of the crankshaft and increase the vehicle's fuel consumption. Specifically, when the crankshaft journal reaches the bottom dead center, it may hit the excess oil, creating resistance and disrupting normal operation, which is not permissible. 3. Insufficient oil: If there is too little oil, it will not be enough for proper circulation and lubrication, leading to accelerated wear of internal engine components and potential engine damage. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain the oil level within the specified range.
