Caution: In the case of a diesel engine, after changing the engine oil, when starting the engine for the first time, it is necessary to ensure that the engine is running at idle speed until the low oil pressure indicator on the instrument panel goes out. Press the accelerator pedal only after full oil pressure has been reached. Increasing the load on the engine without the low oil pressure indicator going out may cause damage to the turbocharger due to insufficient lubrication of its bearings.
- Open cap "1" of the filler hole in the cylinder head cover and pour fresh engine oil through this hole.
Note: It is recommended to first add ½ liter less engine oil, start and warm up the engine, and after a few minutes check the oil level with the dipstick and top up if necessary.
Excess oil must be sucked out again, otherwise the engine seals and catalytic converter may be damaged.
- The oil level is OK if it is in zone "B" on the dipstick. If the oil level is in zone "C", it is necessary to top up the level to zone "B". If the oil level is in zone "A", then it is not necessary to top up the oil.
Caution: If too much oil has been poured into the engine (above zone -A-), its excess must be sucked out, otherwise the engine seals and catalytic converter may be damaged.
- After the test drive, check the tightness of the drain plug and the oil filter seal; if necessary, carefully tighten the seals.
- Stop the warmed-up engine, check the oil level again after about 3 minutes and adjust the level if necessary.
- Set bottom engine compartment cover.
