Engine oil consumption depends on driving style, climate and road conditions.
Normal oil consumption can be up to 1 liter per 1000 km. An unrun-in engine may consume slightly more.
You will need: motor oil, a funnel, a clean rag.
RECOMMENDATION: Engine oil plays a vital role in ensuring the performance and longevity of the engine. Use only high-quality oil.
The manufacturer recommends using ACEA B3 quality level oil, API SJ viscosity class SAE 10W-40 or 5W-30 (depending on climatic conditions).
WARNING: Before checking the oil level after driving, stop the engine and wait 5-10 minutes for the oil to drain into the oil pan.
Top up with oil of the same brand, viscosity and quality class as previously used.
The oil level in the engine crankcase must not exceed the maximum mark, otherwise leaks through gaskets and seals, as well as increased oil consumption, are possible.
In addition, when the oil level is too high, it is intensively stirred up by the crankshaft counterweights, forming foam. Foam that gets into the internal cavities of the oil pump disrupts its operation.
Check the level by placing the vehicle on a flat, horizontal surface.
The oil filler plug A and the oil level indicator B (dipstick) are located on the cylinder head cover.
1. Remove the oil level indicator (dipstick) (shown with engine cover removed for clarity)…
2….wipe it with a clean cloth…
3….and put it back in place.
4. Remove the dipstick again. The oil film level should be between the MIN and MAX marks. If the oil level is close to or below the MIN mark, add oil.
NOTE: The MIN and MAX marks in the photo are applied conditionally. They are not on the oil level indicator, they correspond to the upper and lower marks, respectively.
5. To add oil, turn the oil filler cap counterclockwise…
6….and take it off.
7. Place a funnel in the filler neck and pour oil into the engine, monitoring the oil level using the indicator. Before removing the indicator, wait 2-3 minutes to allow the oil to drain into the crankcase.
8. Once the oil level reaches the required level, tighten the filler cap.
