Adding engine oil

G
WARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot
components in the engine compartment, it
may ignite. There is a risk of fire and
injury.
Make sure that engine oil does not spill out
over the filler neck. Allow the engine to
cool down and thoroughly clean the com-
ponents that have come into contact with
engine oil before you start the engine.
!
Do not add too much oil. If the oil level is
above the MAX mark on the dipstick, too
much oil has been added. This can lead to
engine damage or catalytic converter
damage. Have excess oil siphoned off.
!
Do not use any additives with the engine
oil. This could damage the engine.

Environmental note
When topping up the oil, take care not to
spill any. If oil enters the soil or water-
ways, it is harmful to the environment.

oils is available from any smart centre. smart

carried out at a qualified specialist work-
