Remove the oil filler cap (1) and fill engine oil. See the "Recom-

mended lubricants" section (page 118).
Screw in the oil filler cap.

Start the engine (page 70). The engine oil pressure indicator

must go out as soon as the engine has started. If this does not
happen, switch the engine off immediately and contact trained
personnel.
Let the engine run at idle speed to warm up, then stop it

(page 72). Check the oil level after 5 minutes.
Pull out the oil dipstick (1) and wipe it with a clean cloth.

Insert the oil dipstick completely and pull it out again. The oil

level should be in the "A" area. If the oil level is too low, add en-
gine oil.
When the oil level is too high or too low, the engine
might get damaged during operation.
When changing the engine oil, fill engine oil up to the MAX

mark.
Close the engine compartment cover.
