In this video we see how to check the engine oil on a Dacia Sandero 1.0 petrol. The YouTuber wisely suggests that the first maintenance of an engine consists in keeping it clean; this should actually apply to all engines of all cars.

In this engine, the measuring dipstick is included in the oil filler cap: we proceed by pulling up the dipstick and cleaning it, then putting it back in place and checking it. Moving on, we visually check the battery; on the left we find the brake fluid reservoir, which should be above the halfway mark on the tank; we check with a clean tissue, that there are no leaks.

On the opposite side we have the expansion tank of the cooling system.

We also check here that the level is correct; only the windshield washer fluid is missing, which must be filled with the appropriate fluid and demineralized water (never tap water, which would damage the glass).
