The engine oil level should be checked regularly. Permissible average oil consumption can reach 0.5 liters per 1000 kilometers. Checking the engine oil level is carried out on a car standing on a horizontal surface using a rod indicator (probe), which has two labels:
- A - maximum level;
- B is the minimum level.
The engine oil must be changed at least once a year. API SH or SG engine oil is recommended for gasoline engines and API CD for diesel engines.
The oil filter must be replaced together with the engine oil.
