The oil filler plug is located on the cylinder head cover. The oil level indicator is installed in the upper part of the crankcase ventilation fitting located in the middle of the cylinder block behind the cooling system radiator.
Warnings! Before checking the oil level after a trip, stop the engine and wait 5-10 minutes until the oil drains into the sump.
Top up with the same brand of oil as used previously.
The oil level in the crankcase must not exceed the mark «MAX», otherwise, leaks through gaskets and seals, as well as increased oil consumption, are possible.
Check the level with the vehicle on a level surface.
Helpful advice. The dipstick is smooth, and the clean oil level is hard to see on it. Refine it the way it is done on many foreign cars. Place the feeler gauge on the anvil, place 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 clearly visible.
1. Take out the pointer (probe), wipe it with a clean cloth and reinsert it.

2. Remove the pointer again (probe). The oil film level must be between the marks «MIN» and «MAX». If the oil level approaches the mark «MIN» or below it, add oil.

3. Turn the oil filler plug approximately 90°counterclockwise and remove it.
4. Install a funnel in the neck and pour oil into the engine, controlling the oil level using the pointer. Before removing the pointer, wait 2-3 minutes to allow the oil to drain into the crankcase.
5. After the oil level has reached the required level, close the filler cap by turning it 90°clockwise.
