◆
Stop the engine and let it cool down. This
will allow the oil to settle into the oil pan and
cool down.
NOTE
Accurate oil level measurement is
6 9
only ensured when the above procedures are
observed.
◆
Unscrew and extract the plug/dipstick
(1).
◆
Clean the part in contact with the oil with
a clean cloth.
◆
Tighten the plug/dipstick (1) fully into the
filler hole (2).
◆
Extract the plug/dipstick (1) again and
check oil level on the dipstick:
MAX = maximum level;
MIN
= minimum level.
The difference between the MAX and MIN
level is about:
√ 200 cc
◆
Correct level is achieved when the oil
reaches or is just below the dipstick
MAX level mark.
Never let level exceed the «MAX» mark
or drop below the «MIN» mark, as this
may lead to severe engine damage.
◆
Top up if needed.
MAX MIN
TOPPING UP
◆
Pour a small quantity of oil into the filler
opening (2). Allow one minute for oil to
flow into the crankcase.
◆
Check level and top up if needed.
◆
Top up with small quantities of oil until
obtaining the correct level.
◆
When finished, tighten the plug/dipstick
(1).
Do not use the vehicle when lubricant
levels are low or lubricant has become
contaminated. Use specified lubricants
only. Improper lubrication will lead to
working parts fretting, resulting in
irreparable damage.
