CAUTION !
Never over-fill the engine oil crankcase.
NOTE !
With a new or reconditioned engine, oil and oil filters must
be replaced after 20 hours of operation. Use oil grades as
indicated in the section FLUIDES.
Warranty claims may be rejected if unsuitable oil grade
has been used.
The viscosity may be adapted depending the climatic
conditions.
OIL LEVEL - ADDING ENGINE OIL
Check the engine and transmission oil level before starting
the engine. The oil level should be within the range
indicated on the dipstick, between the Mini and Maxi level.
How to check the oil level:
1. Pull off and wipe the dipstick (in red in the picture
below).
2. Re-insert and remove the dipstick.
3. Check that the oil level is between the Mini and Maxi
marks.
4. If the level is too low, remove the oil filler cap and add
some oil slowly at a time. Wait a few minutes before
checking the oil level to allow the oil to get down to
the oil pan.
NOTE !
To top up oil level, use the same oil which is in the engine.
Do not mix different types of oil.
