Filling up engine oil
Too much or incorrect engine oil can result in engine damage! For this reason:
☞ Do not add engine oil above the MAX mark of oil dipstick 27/A
☞ Use only the specified engine oil
Use a suitable container to collect the engine oil as it drains and dispose of it in an
environmentally friendly manner!
Filling up engine oil
☞ Proceed as follows:
• Clean the area around oil filler cap B with a lint-free cloth
