Sampling Methods
Method 1: Sampling with a Syringe
1. Read and follow the safety precautions in
Section 3.1.
2. Connect a flexible hose to the syringe.
3. Insert the other end of the hose into the dipstick
well, taking care not to reach the bottom of the
sump.
4. Draw the oil into the syringe until it is completely
filled..
5. Once the syringe is full, remove the hose, empty
the syringe into the bottle and seal it as soon as
possible.
6. If necessary, repeat the operation until the bottle is
3/4 full.
7. Close the bottle by tightly screwing the cap and
check the information on the label.
Method 2: Sampling at the Drainage Point
This method can be used by adapting the periodic
draining of the oil sump.
1. Read and follow the safety precautions in
Section 3.1.
2. Place a basin under the drain point.
3. Open the drain point.
4. Allow a little oil to flow out before collecting the
sample.
5. Fill the bottle tightly to 3/4 full.
6. Close the bottle by tightly screwing the cap and
check the information on the label.
7. Close the drain point.
8. Top up the engine oil if necessary.
