Best practices:

Check dipstick manually every 1,000 km—this is essential in local climates.

Maintain a logbook of oil level, km, and top-up amounts.

Use an OBD-II scanner to monitor oil temperature, misfires, o r PCV-related codes.

Watch for blue exhaust smoke, especially during acceleration o r cold starts.

Place a cardboard sheet under the engine overnight to detect leaks.
