The oil filler plug is located on the cylinder head cover. The oil level indicator is installed in the upper part of the engine crankcase ventilation fitting, located in the middle of the cylinder block behind the radiator of the cooling system.
Warnings: Before checking the oil level after driving, turn off the engine and wait 5-10 minutes for the oil to drain into the pan.
Top up with oil of the same brand as previously used.
The oil level in the engine crankcase should not exceed the "MAX" mark, otherwise leaks through gaskets and seals, as well as increased oil consumption, are possible.
Check the level by placing the vehicle on a flat, horizontal surface.

Helpful advice. The dipstick is smooth, and the clean oil level is hard to see. Modify it as it is done on many foreign cars. Put the dipstick on an anvil, apply a coarse file between the marks and hit it sharply with a hammer. A notch will appear on the dipstick, on which the oil will be very visible.
1. Remove the pointer (dipstick), wipe it with a clean cloth and reinsert it.

2. Remove the pointer (dipstick) again. The oil film level must be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks. If the oil level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, top up the oil.

3. Turn the oil filler cap approximately 90° counterclockwise and remove it.
4. Place a funnel in the filler neck and pour oil into the engine, monitoring the oil level with the dipstick. Wait 2-3 minutes before removing the dipstick to allow the oil to drain into the crankcase.
5. Once the oil level has reached the required level, close the filler cap by turning it clockwise 90°.
