Dipstick
In order to verify the level of lubricating oil, the engine
must be stopped and cooled down.
The dipstick is located at the right side (seen from the
rear) of the engine, in between the oil filter and the fuel
lift pump.
Oil level
The markings on the dipstick indicate the upper and the
lower limit of the oil level. The correct oil level is spot-on
or close to the upper mark. If the engine has not enough
oil, fresh oil of the same specifications must be added.
The difference between the upper and the lower mark is
about 2 liters of oil.
Make sure that no oil is added above
the upper mark of the dipstick.
Any lubricating oil in excess will be burnt in the cylin-
ders, causing black smoke from the exhaust and strong
internal pollution of the engine.

Check level of engine lubrication oil
Topping up the lubrication oil
The filler cap is located on top of the rocker cover at the
front of the engine; at the right side of the engine there
is another filling entry.
Do not spill oil over the engine; better
use a funnel when adding oil.
