Inspection conditions
l Carry out measurement of oil level only when
engine warm (oil temperature greater than
60 °C).
l The vehicle should be standing on level
ground when measuring oil level. Wait a few
minutes after switching off the engine to allow
the oil to flow back into the sump.
Inspection procedure
- Remove dipstick, wipe off with a clean cloth
and re-insert dipstick fully.
- Then, remove dipstick again and read off oil
level.
K Markings on dipstick
The engine oil level should be kept within the
range between the „min" and „max" markings.
the „max" marking corresponds to an engine oil
quantity of about 4.7 ltr.
Note:
The oil level must not be above the „max"
marking of the dipstick - risk of damage to
catalytic converter!
