ENGINE OIL CHECK
CAUTION
Do not use oil additives or other
engine treatments. Under certain
conditions, they could damage the
engine.
Note:
The oil consumption of new
engines reaches its normal level after
approximately 5 000 kilometres (3
000 miles).
Checking the oil level
CAUTION
Make sure that the level is
between the MIN and the MAX
marks.
Note:
Check the level before starting
the engine.
Note:
Make sure that your vehicle
is on level ground.
Note:
Oil expands when it is hot. The
level may therefore extend a few
millimetres beyond the MAX mark.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean, lint free cloth. Replace the
dipstick and remove it again to check
the oil level.
If the level is at the MIN mark, top up
immediately.
