Engine oil

Information on engine oils is found in the
Service Booklet.
Engine oil level and consumption
Every engine consumes engine oil for
technical reasons. The engine oil
consumption cannot be assessed until a
fairly long distance has been driven, and
may be above the specified value when the
vehicle is first being driven (run-in period).
Frequent driving at high revs increases
engine oil consumption.

In vehicles with engine oil level
monitoring 3, the engine oil level is
monitored automatically, see page 38. It is
advisable to check the oil level before
setting out on long journeys.

It is the owner's responsibility to maintain
the proper level of an appropriate quality
oil in the engine.
Checking the engine oil level,
topping up engine oil
The figures on this page show examples of
the checks for various petrol and diesel
engines. Fig. 17780 J on the next page
shows the checks for engine Z 30 DT
Warning
The oil level must be checked with the
vehicle on a level surface and with the
engine (which must be at operating
temperature) switched off. Wait at least
5 minutes before checking the level to
allow the normal engine oil accumulation
in the engine to drain into the oil pan.
