What is the engine oil capacity for the Teana 2.5?
2 Answers
The engine oil capacity for the Teana 2.5L is approximately 4 liters. The functions of engine oil include: assisting in engine lubrication and wear reduction, cooling and temperature reduction, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption and buffering. The Teana 2.5L is a mid-sized 4-door 5-seater sedan with the following body dimensions: length 4891mm, width 1830mm, height 1490mm, and a wheelbase of 2775mm. The Teana 2.5L is equipped with a 2.5L engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 137 kW and a maximum torque of 234 Nm. It features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I've driven the Teana 2.5 model for several years, and each time I change the oil, I add about 4.5 liters. At first, I added a bit too much, which resulted in increased engine noise and higher fuel consumption. Later, I learned to check the dipstick level when the engine is cold before changing the oil, ensuring the oil level is between the min and max marks. If the oil is too low, insufficient lubrication can cause the engine to overheat and wear out faster; too much oil increases resistance and affects acceleration performance. It's recommended to change the oil every 5,000 kilometers or every six months, using 5W-30 oil, which is most suitable. Fellow car enthusiasts often say the Teana is very durable, but improper oil management can shorten its lifespan. Getting it done at a shop only takes about half an hour.
