Engine compartment – engine oil
The correct oil must be used for the stated oil
change (service) intervals to apply.
The oil level on 4-cylinder engines is checked
electronically and is checked using a dipstick
on 5- and 6-cylinder engines.
Checking the engine oil (5- and 6-
cylinder engines)
The oil level should be checked at regular
intervals, particularly during the period up to
the first scheduled maintenance service.
