ENGINE OIL CHECK

CAUTION
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 5 000 kilometres (3 000
miles).
Checking the oil level
CAUTION
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.
