Introduction
The engine oil and oil filter need regular replacing. According to the owner's manual, this should be done every 15,000 km or 9,000 miles, every year or whenever the oil clean warning light appears. When use is intensive, these values should be cut in half.
Gasoline engines are recommended to use 0W-20. Where 5W-30 can also be used in both, the sport version also lists 10W-40 and 10W-30. The recommendation for the diesel engine is 5W-30. For the lifespan of the particulate filter an ACEA C2 or C3 quality is required.
When also performing a filter replace, the regular gasoline engine requires about 3,1 liters of engine oil, the sport version 3,9 liters and the diesel engine 3,2 liters.

-
Place the oil drain pan under the plug.
-
Unbolt the plug with a 14mm wrench and let the oil drain completely.
-
When drained, clean the drain plug and gasket and bolt it back on. Using torque wrench tighten it to:
-
35 N·m for gasoline engines
-
20 N·m for diesel engines

-
Attach a filter wrench to the filter and turn counter clockwise. Repeat until the filter can be unscrewed by hand.
-
Place the oil drain pan under the filter, unscrew the oil filter and let the remaining oil drain.
-
Clean the connecting surface.

Using the filter wrench, add 3/4 turn to tighten it.

Ensure the car is level to ensure a correct dipstick measurement.
-
Using the funnel, add the required amount of oil for your engine type. You can add less for comfort, measure, and add more incrementally.
-
To measure, perform the following actions:
-
Pull the dipstick from the engine and wipe it clean.
-
Insert the clean dipstick completely and pull it out again.
-
The oil level should be between the 2 markers.
-
To allow the oil to distribute through the system, idle the engine a couple of minutes. Check the oil level again and check for leaks.
-
When finished, put back the oil filler cap and turn right to close. Clean any spilled oil from the engine.
