The level should lie between the two dots on the lower end of
the dipstick. For optimum engine protection, maintain the level
towards the top mark, and do not allow to fall below the mid-
point. If driving on a closed circuit track, or exploiting maximum
cornering capability, it is especially important to maintain at the
upper marking. Refer also to the Warranty Booklet section 2
'Intended Purpose'. Adding approximately ½ litre will raise the
level from the mid-point to the upper mark.
Topping Up: If topping up is necessary, first remove the engine
cover (see above). Unscrew the oil filler cap from the cam cover
at the right hand front of the engine. Add a suitable quantity of
the recommended engine oil (see 'Recommended Lubricants')
taking care not to spill any oil onto engine or electrical compo-
nents; use a funnel if necessary.
The difference between the top and bottom marks on the
dipstick is equivalent to approximately 1.0 litre. Allow several
minutes for the oil to drain through to the sump before re-
checking the oil level.
NOTICE
Do NOT overfill, or lubrication will be degraded and
consumption increased as the oil becomes churned and aerated.
The catalytic converters may also be damaged by high oil content
in the exhaust gas.
Refit the filler cap, turning clockwise until secure.
