How often should I check the oil in my Vauxhall Vivaro?

I recently purchased a Vauxhall Vivaro and I'm not sure how often I should be checking the oil level. Can you give me some advice on when and how to check the oil?

It is important to regularly check the oil level in your Vauxhall Vivaro to ensure proper engine function and avoid potential damage. I recommend checking the oil level every month or every 1,000 miles, whichever comes first. To check the oil, park your vehicle on a level surface and wait at least 10 minutes after turning off the engine. Then, locate the dipstick, pull it out, and wipe it clean with a cloth. Reinsert the dipstick all the way and then pull it out again to see the oil level. If the level is below the minimum mark, add the recommended type and amount of oil.

Checking your oil regularly can also help you identify any potential leaks or other issues with your engine. If you notice a decrease in your oil level, it is important to have your vehicle inspected by a mechanic to prevent any further damage.

In addition to checking the oil level, it is also recommended to change your oil every 3,000-5,000 miles depending on your driving habits. This will help keep your engine running smoothly and prolong its lifespan.
