Notes on the oil level
Depending on your driving style, the vehicle
consumes up to 0.9 US qt (0.8 liters) of oil per
600 miles (1,000 km). The oil consumption
may be higher than this when the vehicle is
new or if you frequently drive at high engine
speeds.
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may
be in a different location.
It is only possible to correctly measure the oil
level when:
the vehicle is parked on a level surface
R
the engine is left running in neutral for at
R
least 30 seconds before switching off
This applies when checking the oil level
using the oil dipstick or on-board computer
and when the engine is cold or at normal
operating temperature.
