- The engine oil level is checked with an oil level gauge (probe), located on the front of the engine. Oil gauge (probe) passes through the guide tube into the oil pan, in which oil is collected after lubrication of engine components.
- Remove the oil level gauge from the guide tube and wipe it with a clean cloth or tissue.
- Insert a clean oil dipstick into the guide tube as far as it will go and remove it again. Check the oil level, which should be between the marks (rice, 4.42)

- Also, when checking the level, it is necessary to check the condition of the oil. Before wiping the oil level gauge, run your finger over it. If small solid particles remain on the finger, change the engine oil immediately.
- Checking the engine oil level is an important element of engine prevention. A rapid drop in oil level indicates leakage from the crankshaft seals, oil pan gasket, worn piston rings or valve guides.
