3.1 CHECKING OIL LEVEL
Checking cold oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a flat and level surface
and apply the parking brake.
2. Make sure the gearbox is in neutral and allow
the engine to idle for several minutes.

to D, then to N and finally switch the gearbox
to R. The purpose of this is to fill the hydraulic
system.

and release the service brake.
5. Remove the dipstick when the engine is
idling and wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth.
Note:
To take the dipstick out of the holder, the
sealing cap must be held while the dipstick is
turned anti-clockwise.
6. Put the dipstick back.
7. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
The oil level should be between the "Cold
add" and "Cold full" marks.
8. Clean the dipstick with a lint-free cloth and
put it back.
9. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level
again.
10. Oil needs to be added when the oil level is
below the "Cold add" mark.
