ENGINE OIL LEVEL
All engines consume a certain amount of oil; it is thus important
to check the oil level at regular intervals.
Carry out this check with the engine still warm and not running.
Park the vehicle on a flat surface and stop the engine. Wait a
moment to allow the oil to go back to the oil sump, so as to
measure the exact quantity.
Correctly close the fill plug
EVERY 5,000 km. OIL CHANGE
Remove the gauge and wipe it with a clean cloth. Put it back by
pushing it as far as possible.
Then remove it and read the quantity of oil appearing between
the two MIN and MAX marks. If the oil level is below the
maximum limit, remove the engine protector and OIL filler cap
and top up with the specified oil (see page on lubricants).
