Introduction

The engine oil and oil filter need regular replacing. According to the owner's manual, this should be done every 15,000 km or 9,000 miles, every year or whenever the oil clean warning light appears. When use is intensive, these values should be cut in half.

Gasoline engines are recommended to use 0W-20. Where 5W-30 can also be used in both, the sport version also lists 10W-40 and 10W-30. The recommendation for the diesel engine is 5W-30. For the lifespan of the particulate filter an ACEA C2 or C3 quality is required.

When also performing a filter replace, the regular gasoline engine requires about 3,1 liters of engine oil, the sport version 3,9 liters and the diesel engine 3,2 liters.
