Engine oil
Principle
The engine oil consumption and engine oil
properties depend on the driving style and
operating conditions.
Therefore, regularly check the engine oil
level after refueling by taking a detailed
measurement.
The engine's oil consumption may increase
in situations like the following:
– Sporty driving style.
– Break-in of the engine.
– Idle operation of the engine.
– With use of engine oil types that are not
recommended.
Different Check Control messages appear
on the Interaction Unit depending on the
engine oil level and engine oil properties.
The vehicle manufacturer recommends hav-
ing engine oil changed by an authorized
service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop.
