Checking the condition of the engine oil

Note:

• - Before carrying out this check, park the vehicle on a level, level surface.
• - Carry out the check with the engine off. If the engine is running, then stop the engine and wait a while before starting the test.

1. Remove the engine oil dipstick and wipe the oil off the dipstick with a clean cloth.








2. Insert the engine oil level dipstick into the dipstick guide tube.

3. Slowly remove the dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the allowable range indicated on the dipstick.

4. If the engine oil level is near or below the minimum level, check for leaks and add the recommended oil.

API oil quality... SG or better

Attention: filling engine oil above the maximum allowable level adversely affects the operation of the engine.

Note:

• It is not recommended to add any additives to engine oil, as this can damage the mechanical part of the engine.
• Engine oil consumption increases under severe operating conditions (driving at high speeds, frequent acceleration and braking, prolonged operation of the engine at high speeds, poor quality or inappropriate oil viscosity), in which the manufacturer allows oil consumption of not more than 1 n per 1000 km.

5. Make sure the engine oil has the right viscosity for the season (no discoloration or thinning). Check the degree of contamination of the oil, and also make sure that there are no coolant and fuel impurities in the oil.

6. After topping up the oil, start the engine, let it idle and then shut it off. Wait a while and check the oil level again to make sure the level is within the acceptable range.
