oil level in your engine at regular inter-
vals, preferably each time you refuel,
and always before going on a long trip.
- The yellow oil level warning indication
l!I requires oil refill or workshop serv-
ice without delay. Do not wait until the
red oil pressure warning. starts to
flash before you respond to the low oil
level warning 1!1-By then, your engine
may already have suffered serious dam-
age.
