Engine oil consumption depends on driving style, climate and road conditions. Normal oil consumption can be up to 1 liter per 1000 kilometers. An unbroken engine may consume slightly more.
You will need: engine oil, funnel, clean rag.
Recommendations:
- Engine oil plays a vital role in engine performance and longevity. Use only high quality oil.
- The manufacturer recommends using oil of API SL quality level with SAE 0W-30 viscosity grade or API SL SAE 0W-40 viscosity grade (depending on climatic conditions). It is acceptable to use oils with a viscosity of 5W-30, 5W-40.
Attention!
- Before checking the oil level after a trip, stop the engine and wait 5-10 minutes until the oil drains into the oil sump.
- Add 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, if the oil level is too high, the crankshaft counterweights are vigorously agitated and foam is formed. Foam that has entered the internal cavities of the oil pump disrupts its operation.
- Check the level with the vehicle on a level surface.
Pointer A oil level (oil dipstick) located at the front of the cylinder block. Cork B The oil filler neck is located on the cylinder head cover.
1. Remove the oil level indicator (oil dipstick) …
2. …wipe it with a clean cloth…
3....and reinsert.
4. Remove the pointer again (probe). The oil film level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. If the oil level approaches or falls below the MIN·mark, add oil.
Note. The MIN and MAX marks on the photo are applied conditionally. They are not on the oil level indicator, they correspond to the lower and upper risks, respectively.
5. To add oil, turn the oil filler cap counterclockwise..
6.... and remove it.
7. Insert a funnel into the oil filler..
8.... and fill the engine with oil, checking the oil level on the indicator. Before removing the pointer, wait 2-3 minutes to allow the oil to drain into the crankcase.
9. After the oil level reaches the required level, tighten the filler cap.
