9. Check the engine oil level again.
- Typically, in the period between engine oil changes, you have to add oil to the engine to compensate for its consumption. Topping up oil is also required during vehicle break-in. Engine oil consumption depends on the mode and operating conditions of the vehicle, as well as on the operating properties and quality of the engine oil. Driving at high speeds and frequently accelerating and decelerating uses more oil. A new engine consumes more oil due to the break-in of its parts. However, if after a run of 5000 km the engine oil consumption exceeds 0.5 liters. per 1000 km. You need to contact a service station
