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 splash-
back, it is recommended
that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
Consult your approved dealer
at once if you notice an abnor-
mal 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 cap-
type 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 com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
guided in as far as it will go or that
the "cap-type dipstick" is complete-
ly screwed in.
Exceeding the maxi-
mum engine oil level
Under no circum-
stances must the maxi-
mum fill level be exceeded : risk
of damage to the engine and
catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maxi-
mum level, do not start your ve-
hicle and contact an approved
Dealer.
Before performing any
action in the engine
compartment, the igni-
tion must be switched
off by pressing the engine stop
button (please see the informa-
tion on "Starting, stopping the
engine" in �� 58).
