pg. 101 Engine Oil
Checking the oil level
The oil level should be checked each time you refuel. Be sure the oil level is maintained between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick.
Low oil level can cause internal damage to the engine and overfilling can result in high oil consumption. The distance between the dipstick
marks represents approx. 1 US qt (1 liter) of oil.
Draining the oil
Drain the oil after driving while it is still hot.
WARNING!
The oil may be very
hot.
To add or change engine oil
Add oil of the same kind as already used. Capacity: 4.0 us qts = 3.85 liters incl. filter.*
After an oil change, the oil level will lie between the two marks on the dipstick i.e. between MAX and MIN. This is normal. Do not add too
much oil or excessive oil consumption will result.
*if oil cooler (Turbo models) is drained, add 0.7 US qts. (0.6 liters).
Changing oil Filter
Replace the oil filter at every oil change.
