.
Once the level has been read, push

Topping up, filling, oil change
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be
stopped and cold (for instance, before
the engine is started up for the first
time in the day).
Before performing any
action in the engine
compartment, the
ignition must be
switched off (please see the
information on "Starting, stopping
the engine" in Section 2).
– Loosen the cap
1
;
– top up the oil (please note that the
capacity between the "MINI" and
"MAXI" marks on the dipstick
2
is
approximately 0.22 gal (1 litre);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow;
– check the level using the dipstick
2
(as described previously).
Once the operation has been
completed, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go and that
the cap is completely screwed in.
