Is 3 Liters of Engine Oil Enough for the New Sylphy?

[StJaxon]

Yes. For the Nissan Sylphy, the 1.6L engine typically requires about 3 liters of oil, while the 1.8L engine generally needs 4 liters. This is because it's impossible to completely drain all the old oil during an oil change. For instance, adding approximately 2.8 liters to a 1.6L engine already brings the oil level close to the upper limit on the dipstick. However, the optimal oil level should always be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Here are the impacts of overfilling engine oil: Increased fuel consumption: When the engine cylinder block contains too much oil, it creates additional unnecessary resistance to the crankshaft's rotation, which affects power output and consequently increases fuel consumption. Reduced engine power: Power decrease A significant increase in the amount of oil entering the combustion chamber leads to more carbon deposits inside the chamber. This increases the resistance to piston movement, resulting in reduced engine power.
