It is recommended to change the engine oil after approximately 5,000 kilometers. The method for changing the engine oil is as follows: 1. Use a jack to lift the vehicle, locate and unscrew the oil drain bolt to drain the oil; 2. After removing the oil filter, place a container underneath; 3. Replace with a new oil filter and add new engine oil. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while the additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine.
