Engine oil
The amount of oil your engine needs will
depend on a number of factors, including
driving style. Increased oil consumption
can occur when the vehicle is new or the
vehicle is driven at higher engine speeds
frequently.
Engine oil consumption checks should only
be made after the vehicle break-in period.
!
Do not use any special lubricant
additives, as these may increase wear
and damage the drive assemblies. Using
special additives not approved by smart
may cause damage not covered by the
smart Limited Warranty. More
information on this subject is available
at any smart center.
Checking engine oil level
!
Check the engine oil level at regular
intervals.
