Check
In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench bearings and the
thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine. In all 4T
engines, the deterioration of the oil's characteristics, or a certain consumption should be considered
normal, especially if during the run-in period. Consumption can particularly reflect the conditions of use
(i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all the time, oil consumption increases).
Perform this operation when the engine cold, as
described below:
1) Put the vehicle on its central stand on a flat sur-
face.
2) Unscrew dipstick "A", dry it with a clean cloth
and refit by screwing it completely.
3) Remove the dipstick again and check that the
oil level is between the MAX and MIN marks on the
dipstick; top up if necessary.
The MAX level mark indicates an amount of about
1100 cc of engine oil. The level will be lower if
checked after using the vehicle (i.e. when the en-
gine is hot). To obtain a correct indication of the oil
level, wait for at least 10 minutes after switching
off the engine.
