Frequency of inspection
Every 30,000 km.
We recommend checking the tightness of the seals more often, especially on a new car. This will help to identify hidden defects.
If there are traces of fluid leakage, first wipe the area thoroughly and inspect it after some time. If the traces of leakage appear again, then there is a leak. We recommend contacting specialists.
If traces of oil leakage are detected from different parts of the engine, first check whether the crankcase ventilation hoses are pinched.
It is recommended to carry out the check on an inspection pit, a lift, or by raising the car with a jack and placing it on supports.
