Note: The manufacturer recommends using API SM quality level oil (ACEA-A3/B3 or ACEA-A3/B4), viscosity grade SAE 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-40, 5W-30 (depending on climatic conditions).
Warnings: Check the oil level with the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface. Before checking the oil level after driving, turn off the engine and wait 5-10 minutes for the oil to drain into the crankcase. Top up with oil of the same brand, viscosity, and quality class as the one used previously.
The oil level in the engine crankcase should not exceed the "MAX" mark, otherwise oil leaks through gaskets and seals and increased oil consumption are possible.
The oil filler cap is located on the cylinder head cover. The oil level indicator (dipstick) is located on the left side of the cylinder block next to the oil filler cap.
1. Remove the pointer (feeler)...
2. ...wipe with a clean cloth and return to place.
3. Remove the pointer (dipstick) again. The oil film level must be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks. If the oil level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, top up the oil.
4. To add oil, turn the oil filler cap counterclockwise...
5. ...and take it off.
6. Fill the engine with oil, monitoring its level using the dipstick. Wait 2-3 minutes before removing the dipstick to allow the oil to drain into the crankcase.
7. Once the oil level reaches the required level, tighten the filler cap.
