ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Topping up, filling
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level
between oil changes.
However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 1,000 kms after the
running in period.
Oil change frequency : check the oil

level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
In order to prevent
splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel
be used when topping up/filling
with oil.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

Reading the oil level
– Remove the dipstick and wipe with a
clean, lint-free cloth.
– Guide the dipstick in as far as it will
go (for vehicles equipped with a
captype dipstick, screw the cap in as
far as it will go).
– Take out the dipstick again.
– Read the level : it should never fall
below minimum mark or exceed
maximum mark.
Once the operation has been
completed, ensure that the dipstick is
guided in as far as it will go or that the
"cap-type dipstick" is completely
screwed in.
Exceeding the
maximum engine oil
level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level be
exceeded : risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the
maximum level, do not start your
vehicle and contact an approved
Dealer.
Before performing any
action in the engine
compartment, the
ignition must be
switched off by pressing the
engine stop button (please see
the information on "Starting,
stopping the engine" in �� 57).
