To ensure correct engine lubrication, the
oil must always be kept at the prescribed
level (see "Engine compartment" in this
chapter).
Check the oil level at regular intervals, for
example every 1860 mi (3000 km).
It must be checked about 5 minutes after
stopping the engine, once full operating

also be parked on as level a surface as
possible.
Ensure that the oil level is within the
interval on the dipstick between the
minimum and maximum limits

in sequence: "Applications"; "My Car"; "Oil
level".
