Where to add engine oil for the new Sylphy?
2 Answers
The engine oil for the new Sylphy is added under the hood. The oil container is located above the engine in front of the driver's seat, with an oil can pattern marked on the container lid. The normal oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick. If the oil level is below MIN, it is necessary to add oil until it exceeds the MIN mark, but not beyond the MAX mark. Since the quality of different types of engine oil varies, the type of newly added oil must be consistent with the original oil type in the engine. The body dimensions of the new Sylphy are 4641mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1447mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2712mm. In terms of power, the Nissan new Sylphy is equipped with two naturally aspirated engines: a 1.6L and a 2.0L.
As a long-time owner of the Sylphy, I always add engine oil myself. The location is at the top right corner of the engine under the hood, where there's a yellow or black round cap—just unscrew it to pour. First, pull the hood release lever under the left side of the driver's seat, then walk to the front of the car and lift the safety latch. Remember, the car must be turned off and completely cooled; otherwise, the heat can burn your hands. Always use the manufacturer-recommended 0W-20 synthetic oil—don’t use other types randomly. Before adding, check the oil level with the dipstick; the amount should be between the Max and Min marks. Overfilling increases engine pressure and can cause damage. Regularly inspect to prevent oil shortage, especially before highway driving, which can harm the engine. It’s simple and easy—even beginners can try it, saving the cost of a dealership visit.
