Caring for the High-Output Turbo
Maintaining a hard-working crossover requires an understanding of the specific engineering under the hood. The 2026 model is powered exclusively by a direct-injection 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. While this advanced powertrain delivers best-in-class standard performance, it also generates intense internal temperatures. The 5.0-quart oil capacity acts as a vital heat sink, dissipating extreme thermal loads when you are navigating tight city streets around the University of Alabama or running errands in the Druid City.
Using the correct factory-specified fluid is non-negotiable for turbocharged engines. Our factory-trained technicians stock the exact full synthetic fluids required to maintain your fuel efficiency and protect the delicate turbo bearings.
