Good morning.

How do you know how much oil to put in before checking if the level is correct? Do you have to measure the amount you have just emptied, or do you have to refer to the manufacturer's recommendation?

I'm afraid of putting "too much" oil in before checking the level, and having to remove some.

THANKS.

Hello, once your vehicle is on the ground, add 2L then pull your gauge, go from half a liter to half a liter while monitoring your gauge. Once at a correct level, run the engine for a few moments to fill your oil filter, let it rest a little and check your level.
