Engine oil level (03_01)

In 4T engines, engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, main bearings
and thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can seriously damage the en-
gine. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and certain
consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly reflect the
conditions of use (i.e. when driving at 'full acceleration' all the time, oil consumption
increases). The replacement intervals provided for by the maintenance programme
are defined depending on the total content of oil in the engine and the average con-
sumption measured following standardised methods. In order to prevent any prob-
lems, we recommend checking oil level more frequently than indicated in the
Scheduled Maintenance table or before setting off on long journeys. The vehicle
is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument pan-
el.
