The MG HS 1.5 T engine typically requires around 4.5 to 5.0 litres of engine oil, including the oil filter, as per standard specifications though PakWheels does not list oil capacity, most 1.5 L turbo engines fall in this range. Overfilling during service can lead to:

Oil foaming, which reduces lubrication

Smoke at startup due to excess oil entering combustion areas

Engine hesitation and performance issues

Action: Always request confirmation of the oil level after servicing. If the car smokes on startup o r you feel sluggish performance, ask the technician to check and release excess oil carefully.
