For any driving styles more demanding
than normal road use, such as track
use etc, which will subject the vehicle
to higher dynamic loads, first ensure
the oil level is at the maximum fill mark
(the upper dot on the dipstick).
Topping Up
– If topping up is necessary, the front
engine compartment panel must be
removed, see page 226.
– Unscrew the oil filler cap counter-
clockwise, see item 5 on page 225,
then add a suitable quantity of
the recommended engine oil (see
‘Recommended Lubricants’ section),
taking care not to spill any oil onto
the engine or electrical components;
use a funnel if necessary and clean
up any spillage.
– Allow several minutes for the oil to
drain through to the sump before
re-checking the oil level.
– Refit the filler cap, turning clockwise
until secure.
WARNING: Engine oil is
hazardous to your health and may
be fatal if swallowed.
WARNING: Prolonged and
repeated contact with used
engine oil may cause serious skin
disorders, including dermatitis and

WARNING: Use protective gloves
to avoid contact with skin as far as
possible and wash skin thoroughly
after any contact.

the reach of children.
