Engine oil and engine oil filter

Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350 miles) or before starting a longtrip.

*2

Engine oil and engine oil filter

  • The engine oil level should be checked regularly and maintained properly. Operating with an insufficient amount oil can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered by warranty.
