The Arrizo 5 typically requires 4 liters of engine oil, so adding 4 liters is completely sufficient. Below is some extended information about the Arrizo 5: Performance: The Chery Arrizo 5 is a sedan produced by Chery. It adopts the family-style exterior design of the Arrizo series but with more sporty adjustments in the details. The interior and configurations have also been upgraded, and it is equipped with either a 1.5L naturally aspirated or a 1.2T turbocharged engine, as well as the latest 1.5T turbocharged engine featured in the Arrizo 5-SPORT. Development: On the evening of March 9, 2016, Chery's new compact sedan, the Arrizo 5, made its global debut in Chile, attracting significant attention. On March 18, 2016, Chery officially launched the new-generation all-time connected high-performance mid-size sedan, the Arrizo 5, in Beijing, initially offering 10 models with the 1.5L powertrain. On March 18, 2017, Chery proudly introduced the Arrizo 5-Sport, which is equipped with a 1.5T engine delivering a maximum power of 108kW and a peak torque of 210Nm, paired with a CVT transmission that can simulate 7 speeds. The newly launched Arrizo 5 Sport came in 4 models with the 1.5T powertrain.
As a veteran mechanic with over a decade of experience, I can say that adding 4 liters of oil is usually sufficient for the Arrizo 5. The standard oil capacity for this model typically ranges between 3.8 to 4.2 liters, depending on the engine type and whether the oil filter is replaced. However, simply pouring in 4 liters doesn't guarantee precision—you must verify the oil level using the dipstick to ensure it's between the min and max marks. I've seen many novices pour in a full 4 liters without checking, resulting in either low oil levels causing engine overheating and wear or excessive oil leading to oil pressure leaks. During each maintenance session, I prefer to start by adding 3.8 liters of oil, running the engine for a few dozen seconds, then turning it off and waiting a few minutes for the oil to settle before checking the dipstick. If it's low, I top it up to the appropriate level. This method protects the engine and avoids the hassle of rework. Developing a habit of regular checks can extend your car's lifespan—don't cut corners for convenience.
As an owner of the Arrizo 5 for four years, I'd like to share my personal experience. Adding 4 liters of engine oil is usually sufficient for my car. The manual states the standard capacity is around 4.2 liters. After adding 4 liters, the dipstick shows a mid-range level, which stays within the min-max range. However, once after replacing the oil filter, I forgot to check and directly added 4 liters, resulting in insufficient oil level. The engine noise increased significantly upon startup, nearly causing issues. Since then, I always drive for a day or two after an oil change before rechecking the dipstick to ensure stable oil level. 4 liters is a baseline reference value - actual amount needs slight adjustment based on vehicle condition. Don't rush to pour all the oil during DIY maintenance - simple tools can handle the checking. Paying attention to such small things saves big money, keeping you safe and worry-free.
