ENGLISH
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check
the oil level.
6. Top up if the level is lower than the
upper limit mark (21).
The oil level must never exceed the up-
per limit mark. The engine would over-
heat. If the oil level exceeds the upper
limit mark, it is necessary to drain to
the correct level.
Change the oil more often if the engine has to
run in difficult conditions or at a high ambient
temperature.

9.5.2 Change/filling (21)

For the intervention timing see chapter
13.
For the type of oil see "0 TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS TABLE"
Use oil without additives.
Change the oil with the engine warm.
The oil may be very hot if removed just
after the engine has been switched off.
Consequently allow the engine to cool
down for a few minutes before pro-
ceeding to drain off the oil.
