1.4.7.5. Replacement of engine oil
Regularly replace engine oil, at least twice a year.
It is very important as lubricant properties of oil gradually decrease at operation of the car.
If you go by the car generally on small distances or on dusty roads, or in city conditions when frequent braking and dispersal is necessary, or in cold season when temperature keeps below zero during the long period of time, engine oil should be replaced more often.
As to contain in oil the washing additives, new oil will become more dark after small operating time of the engine. It is normal, and there is no need to replace oil more often than it is recommended the producer.
