When should you check the oil level?

• Before driving long distances: It is important to check the oil level before driving long distances to avoid problems on the road.
• Regularly: it is recommended to check the oil level at least once a month, preferably once a week.

How to check the oil level correctly?

1. Turn off the engine and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the oil to drain into the engine crankcase and ensure an accurate measurement.
2. Open the hood. Locate the oil dipstick. It usually has a bright handle or label.
3. Pull out the probe and wipe it with a clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick back as far as it will go.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and look at the oil level. There are "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the dipstick. The oil level should be between these marks.
6. If the level is low, add the required amount of oil. Use the same oil type and viscosity as the one already in the engine.
7. Close the hood.
