Self oil change
You should only fill in the oil recommended by this manual, purchased at a bus station or in a specialized store. When changing the oil, the oil filter must be changed. Install the filter that matches your vehicle's engine.
Oil change at the service station
It is better to change the oil at a bus station where there is a special unit. The advantage of using it is that it «washes» crankcase, and when changing the oil yourself, even changing the oil filter, you will not be able to completely clean the crankcase from sludge, and the oil will still have additives.
The stations offer expensive brands of oil, so it is better to buy it in advance.
