ENGINE OIL

Checking the Engine Oil Level

„ Smartstream G2.0

Engine oil is used for lubricating,

cooling, and operating various hydraulic

components in the engine. Engine oil

consumption while driving is normal,

and it is necessary to check and refill the

engine oil regularly. Also, check and refill

the oil level within the recommended

maintenance schedule to prevent

deterioration of oil performance.

Check the engine oil following the below

OCN7080066L

procedure.

„ Smartstream G1.6 T-GDi

1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s

precautions.

2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level
