limit, remove the cap located on the cyl-
inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified

CAUTION
l
In diesel-powered vehicles, when burning
away and removing soot accumulated in the
DPF, fuel can mix with the engine oil and an
increase in the engine oil level may occur.
This does not indicate an abnormality.
However, if the engine oil level is at or over
the "X" mark (B) on the engine oil dipstick
(A), change the engine oil.

For 3000 models, to check the oil level, pull
the dipstick straight out and check the oil
level by checking the upper surface of the

vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement.
