Engine Oil Level Check and Refill
Driving the vehicle with the engine oil level
ABOVE the upper mark, or BELOW the lower
mark on the dipstick, will damage the engine.
Take care to avoid spilling engine oil onto a
hot engine – a fire may result!
Maintenance
Check the oil level weekly and top up with oil when
necessary. Ideally, the oil level should be checked with the
engine cold and the car resting on level ground. However,
if the engine is running and already getting warm, wait for
at least five minutes after switching off the ignition switch
before checking the level.
1 Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade clean.
2 Slowly insert the oil dipstick and pull it out again to
check the oil level; the oil level shall not be lower than
the "MIN" mark on the oil dipstick.
3 Unscrew the oil filler cap and refill the oil to maintain
the oil level between the "MAX" mark and "MIN"
mark on the oil dipstick.
4 Wait for 5 minutes and then recheck the level, adding
more oil if necessary – DO NOT OVERFILL!
5 Finally, ensure the dipstick and filler cap are replaced.
Engine Oil Specification
Use the engine oil recommended and approved by
the manufacturer. Refer to "Recommended Fluids and
Capacities" in "Technical Data" chapter.
