Engine oil

Information on engine oils is available in
the Service Booklet.
Engine oil level
It is normal for every engine to consume
some oil, and it is sometimes necessary to
check and top up the engine oil level
between oil changes.
9
Warning
Do not allow the engine oil level to drop
below the minimum level!
For this reason the engine oil level should
be checked every 300 miles (500 km) or
before starting a long trip.
Engine oil level check and topping up
The oil level must be checked with the
vehicle horizontal and with the engine
(which must be at operating temperature)
switched off. Wait approximately 15
minutes before checking the level to allow
the normal oil accumulation in the engine
to drain back into the oil pan.
9
Warning
Important: It is the owner's responsibility
to maintain the correct level of an
appropriate quality oil in the engine.
The illustrations show checking and
replenishing the oil in the respective diesel
engines.
To check the level remove the oil gauge
(dipstick), wipe it clean and re-insert it as
far as it will go. Top up if the oil level has
dropped to the "add oil" mark A.
The oil level must not go above the upper
mark B on the dipstick. This would lead, for
example, to increased oil consumption and
excessive formation of carbon residue.
