How to check your oil

Remember to check your oil about every 1000 Miles. Make it a habit before every long journey.

 

The optimal oil level means :

  • you increase your engine's efficiency and cut fuel consumption.
  • you reduce premature wear of engine components.
  • you inhibit the formation of deposits and limit the development of corrosion.
  • you reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

     

Choosing the right oil is important for the performance and the life of your engine.

Your oil consumption depends on :

  • your type of vehicle.
  • your style of driving.
  • the mechanical conditions of your engine.
  • the weather conditions: If your oil consumption is more than 1 liter of oil per 1000 Miles, you should contact your garage .

     

How to do ?

 

Check your oil on level ground. Wait at least 5 minutes after switching off the engine.

Remove the dipstick

Wipe it. Replace and wait a few seconds before removing it again

Check the level with reference to the MIN and MAX marks. You should add oil if the level is below the MAX mark.

Add the oil a little at a time

Recheck the level and repeat the operation until it reaches the MAX mark. But don't go above it ! Replace the dipstick.

Recheck your oil level about every 1000 km. And have a good journey.
