Castrol Magnatec 5w40 should be changed every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. The method for changing engine oil is: 1. Lift the vehicle, remove the protective plate, and place a container under the oil drain plug; 2. Unscrew the oil drain plug, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, then tighten the drain plug and wipe it with a tissue to check for oil leaks; 3. Reinstall the protective plate, lower the vehicle, and add oil through the filler port. Precautions for changing engine oil: 1. Perform the change when the engine is warm to ensure the old oil is completely drained; 2. Add oil and ensure the amount is appropriate; 3. After adding oil, start the engine and check all components for leaks. Run the engine for 3 minutes to confirm the oil level is at the normal mark.
