What is the fuel tank capacity of the Oshan X5 in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Changan Oshan X5 is 53 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Changan Oshan X5 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Changan Oshan X5 requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.0 to 6.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 841 to 883 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space left between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I’ve been driving my Oshan X5 for almost two years now and have paid special attention to the fuel tank capacity during refueling. The official data states it’s 53 liters, which seems quite accurate. Last week, before a long trip, I filled it up until the pump clicked off, and the dashboard showed a range of around 650 km. This aligns well with my 1.5T engine’s fuel consumption of 7.8 liters per 100 km. Currently, the price of 92-octane gasoline at gas stations has risen sharply, and a full tank costs just over 400 yuan. I’d like to remind everyone to watch out for foam in the fuel nozzle when refueling—overfilling isn’t good for the carbon canister. Also, in summer, avoid letting the fuel level drop too low, as it can affect the fuel pump’s heat dissipation.
