It is crucial to always adhere to the maintenance schedule set by the manufacturer, particularly to change the oil within the specified mileage. Additionally, always identify the type of oil and its specifications suitable for the vehicle type (see the user and maintenance manual). If possible, regularly check the oil level and top up if necessary.
