Everything you need to know about engine oil
“Oil change” message on the dashboard
If the message “Oil change” appears in your dashboard, please note the following:
The message “Oil change due” appears together with the remaining mileage, e.g., “Oil change due in 2000 km.”
- If you are in a Fiat, the remaining kilometers may be exceeded by 150 km.
- If you are in another make (VW, Mercedes, MAN, etc.), the remaining kilometers may be exceeded by 2,000 km.
- If your planned trip does not exceed this mileage, you do not need to take any action and we will take care of everything as soon as the vehicle is returned.
- If your planned trip does exceed this mileage, please visit a Euromaster workshop and have the oil change done there; the costs will be forwarded directly to us.
Before you go there, please contact us.
You can change the country you are in at the bottom of the Euromaster homepage!
Check and Refill the Oil Level

B) Engine oil level is OK.
C) Engine oil level should be refilled.
D) Engine oil level is too low.
Engine oil level too low:
You can buy engine oil at any gas station — just make sure that the type designation “number/letter/number” matches the one shown below.
- If the oil level is too low, carefully add 250 ml of engine oil “0W20” into the oil filler.
- Drive for 20 minutes and check the oil level again. If the level is still too low, add another 250 ml of engine oil.
Please note the following:
If you had to refill oil multiple times (a total of 1L), a workshop must be visited.

Engine oil level too high:
If the oil level is too high, this may have two causes:
- Have you been driving long distances or in the mountains?
Park the vehicle in a shaded area, switch off the engine and wait 20–40 minutes.
Measure the oil level again. If it is still too high, contact the mobility service provider. - The oil level is genuinely too high?
