Check
Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when the engine is cold (after
completely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level should be somewhere between the MAX
and MIN index marks on the level rod; «A»; during the oil check, the vehicle must be resting on its centre
stand on an even, horizontal surface.
If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level
line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has
been stopped so as to get the correct level.
