Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change
Engine oil changes are to be carried out
depending on time intervals and mileage in-
tervals, since oil loses its lubrication prop-
erties not only through engine operation but
also through ageing.
Under exceptional conditions e.g. frequent
cold starts or extra urban traffic and con-
gestion of traffic, the engine oil and engine
oil filter should be changed at shorter in-
tervals rather than the recommended main-
tenance schedule.
Engine oil filter elements should be re-
placed at the same time with engine oil.
WARNING
Used engine oil and their containers
can be a hazard to health and the en-
vironment.
• Do not dispose of used engine oil
in household refuse waste.
• Use your local authorized waste
disposal facilities when disposing
of used engine oil.

COOLANT LEVEL

The cooling system is filled with an ethyl-
ene glycol base coolant.
In the correct concentration the coolant pro-
vides excellent corrosion and freeze protec-
tion for the entire cooling and heating sys-
tem and must therefore not be replaced by
plain water even in summer.
The coolant level should be between "LOW"
and "FULL" mark on the coolant surge tank
when the engine is cool. The level rises at
engine operating temperature and drops
again when the engine cools down.
If the level falls below the "LOW" mark, refill
the radiator with a 50/50 mix of distilled
water and antifreeze specified, to provide
freezing and corrosion protection.
