Is 4 Liters of Engine Oil Enough for One Maintenance?
1 Answers
For most car models, 4 liters of engine oil is generally sufficient for one maintenance session, such as the Volkswagen Golf, Bora, Toyota Corolla, etc. However, there are cases where 4 liters is not enough, such as the Audi A5 and Volkswagen Touran, which require about 5 liters of oil during maintenance. The exact amount of oil needed depends on the specific car model. Additionally, some models may require different amounts of oil based on their engine displacement. Below is additional information: Precautions for engine oil: Excessive oil can increase engine load, affecting performance; over time, it can also damage the engine's exhaust ventilation system, increase carbon deposits, and even cause some oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning. Insufficient oil can result in inadequate lubrication of engine components, accelerating wear. Oil also plays a crucial role in cooling and heat dissipation. If the oil level is too low, the engine's cooling capacity is weakened, leading to overheating and potentially causing severe issues like bearing seizure or cylinder scoring.
