Engine Oil Level Check - Maserati Levante Owner's Manual

"Windshield Washer Fluid" with
antifreeze, available in the "Genuine
Accessories" catalog.
WARNING!
• Commercially available windshield
washer solvents are flammable.
They could ignite and burn you.
Care must be exercised when
filling or when working around the
windshield/headlight washer system.
•
Do not drive with the windshield/
headlight washer reservoir empty:
the action of the washer is essential
for improving visibility when driving.

Engine Oil Level Check

To assure proper lubrication of your
vehicle's engine, the engine oil must
be maintained at the correct level.
If the warning light illuminates
and the related message of low oil
level displays, or during scheduled
services (see "Scheduled Maintenance
Service" in this section) it is necessary
to check the engine oil level.
The best time to check the engine
oil level is about five minutes after a
fully warmed up engine is shut off or
before starting the engine after it has
sat overnight. In both cases the vehicle
should be parked on level ground to
improve the accuracy of the oil level
readings.
CAUTION!
• Do not top up with oil with different
characteristics than the engine one
(refer to "Refillings Table" in this
section).
• Overfilling or underfilling the oil
pan will cause aeration or loss of oil
pressure. This could damage your
engine.
• Do not add any supplemental
materials to the engine oil. Engine
oil is an engineered product, and its
performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives.
• Remove the inspection cover on the
right engine bank (3.8 V8 - GTS
Version only).
