Engine oil and oil filter


Check for oil leakage

Check that no oil leakage occurs at the top or bottom of the engine and gearbox or in the power steering's hydraulic system.

If there is an oil leak on the auxiliary side of the engine, it is recommended that the drive belt is inspected and replaced if necessary.
