How many liters of engine oil are needed for an Octavia oil change?
1 Answers
The Octavia requires approximately 4L of engine oil for an oil change. To confirm whether the added oil quantity is sufficient, you can check the oil dipstick after adding the oil. Oil dipstick markings: There are two markings on the oil dipstick: one is the maximum level, and the other is the minimum level. The normal oil level should not be above the maximum marking nor below the minimum marking. The oil level should be between these two markings. Method for checking the oil level: After adding the oil, start the vehicle and then turn it off. Wait for 3 minutes before checking the oil level. This is because when changing the oil, the oil filter also needs to be replaced. The new oil filter initially contains no oil, and after starting the vehicle, oil will flow into the filter. Waiting for 3 minutes allows the oil to settle back into the oil pan, ensuring a more accurate reading. Remember not to check the oil level on a slope, as the vehicle's tilt will cause the oil in the pan to tilt as well, leading to an inaccurate measurement.
