Oil level check
At the oil level check, the vehicle has to be secured against rolling with blocks.
The oil level check must be carried out as follows :
- Oil level check(weekly)
- At horizontally standing vehicle
- Transmission in neutral position " N"
- In the cold start phase, the engine must be running about 2-3minutes at idling speed, and the
marking on the oil dipstick must then be lying above the cold start mark " COLD"
- At operating temperature of the transmission(about 80 -90 C)
- At engine idling speed
- Loosen oil dipstick by counter-clock rotation, remove and clean it
- Insert oil dipstick slowly into the oil level tube until contact is obtained, and pull it out again.
- On the oil dipstick, the oil level must be lying in the zone " HOT"
- Insert the oil dipstick again, and tighten it by clockwise rotation
If the oil level has dropped in operating temperature condition below the " HOT" zone, it is
absolutely necessary to replenish oil.
An oil level above the " HOT" marking, is leading to a too high oil temperature.
