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" in section
"Features and Specifications").
•
Overfilling or underfilling the sump
will cause aeration or loss of oil
pressure. This could damage your
engine.
•
Do not add any supplemental
materials to the engine oil, other
than leak detection dyes. 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).

• Re-insert the dipstick completely and
remove: the oil level should maintain
between the "MIN" and "MAX"
reference ranges (SAFE range).
• If a refilling is necessary: unscrew the
filler neck cap.
