ENGINE OIL CHECK

Do not use oil additives or other
engine treatments. Under certain
conditions, they could damage the
engine.
Note: The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately
5000 kilometres (3000 miles).
Checking the oil level
Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
Note: Check the level before starting the
engine.
Note: Make sure that your vehicle is on level
ground.
Note: Oil expands when it is hot. The level
may therefore extend a few millimetres
beyond the MAX mark.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean, lint free cloth. Replace the dipstick
and remove it again to check the oil level.
If the level is at the MIN mark, top up
immediately.
Topping up
WARNINGS
Only top up when the engine is cold.
If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
