-- Fill the engine oil via the oil filler tube.

-- Check the engine oil level.

Engines with turbocharger:

After the engine oil and oil filter have been replaced, observe the following when first starting the engine:

As long as the oil pressure indicator lamp in the instrument cluster is on, the engine may only run in idle. Do not touch the accelerator pedal! Bumping the accelerator pedal can damage the turbocharger or destroy it completely.
Only when the warning light extinguishes, is the full oil pressure achieved, and the engine can be accelerated.
