After any procedure in

Engine oil
General information
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 be­
tween oil changes.
However, contact an approved dealer
if more than 0.11 gal (0.5 litre) is being
consumed every 620 miles (1,000 km)
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.
Exceeding the maxi­
mum engine oil level
Under no circumstances
should the maximum fill­
ing level be exceeded: this could
damage the engine and the emis­
sion control system.
If the level exceeds the "MAXI"
level do not start your vehicle
and contact an approved dealer.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the
vehicle on level ground, after the en­
gine has been switched off for some
time.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not
been exceeded (risk of engine dam­
age).
Depending on the vehicle, the instru­
ment panel display only alerts the dri­
ver when the oil level is at its mini­
mum.
Before carrying out any
action in the engine
compartment, you must
switch off the ignition
�� 183.
Minimum oil level warning
The message "Top up oil level" and the
warning light come on on the
instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as
possible.
