Gasoline engine
Recommended engine oil
Engine oil is very important for the operation and maintenance of the engine. It is recommended to check the engine oil level at least once a week under normal operating conditions and more often if you travel or operate the vehicle under severe conditions.
Multifunctional and fuel efficient SH, SG or SG/CD (API) oil is recommended.
Note: For vehicles that are constantly driven at high speeds, it is not recommended to use motor oil with a viscosity-temperature characteristic according to SAE 5W-20.
Diesel engine
Recommended engine oil
The condition of the engine oil is of great importance for the functioning of the engine and its proper maintenance. It is recommended to check the oil level every 500 km or before a long trip, and if you travel or drive in particularly difficult conditions - check more often.
The quality of the oil must meet the following classification:
- API classification: CF-4 or higher.
- According to ACEA classification: B4.
Note: Motor oil with viscosity-temperature characteristic according to SAE 0W-30 is intended for use in particularly cold climatic conditions. It is especially not recommended for use in cars constantly moving under high load and at high speeds.
Checking the engine oil level

Before checking the engine oil level, warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and make sure the vehicle is parked on a level, horizontal surface. Turn off the engine.
Wait approximately five minutes (petrol engine) / approximately two minutes (diesel engine), pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick all the way and then pull it out. Check the oil level on the dipstick. It should be between the "FULL" and "LOW" marks on the dipstick.
Topping up engine oil

If the oil level is near or below the "L" mark on the dipstick, add oil to the "F" mark. To do this:
- 1. Unscrew the engine oil filler cap by turning it counterclockwise.
- 2. Finish the oil, check the oil level again. Do not add more oil than required.
- 3. Install the plug by turning it clockwise.
The distance between the "F" ("Full") and "L" ("Low") marks on the dipstick corresponds to approximately 1.2 liters of engine oil.
