Adding engine oil
Use a funnel or protect
the filling neck area to
avoid engine oil
escaping on to a hot part of the
engine compartment or a
sensitive part (e.g. electrical
components).
Fire hazard.
Oil change
Service interval: refer to the
maintenance document for your
vehicle.
Oil change capacity
Please refer to the maintenance
document for your vehicle, or contact
an authorised dealer. Always check the
engine oil level using the dipstick, as
explained previously (it should never
fall below the minimum level, or be
over the maximum level on the
dipstick).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the maintenance document
for your vehicle.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
should the maximum
filling level be exceeded: this
could damage the engine and the
emission control system.
If the oil level exceeds the
maximum level, do not start your
vehicle and contact an approved
dealer.
Engine oil change: if
you are changing the oil
when the engine is hot,
be careful not to scald
yourself as the oil drains.
If there is an abnormal or
repeated drop in the fluid
level, consult an approved
dealer.
When working in the
engine compartment,
ensure that the
windscreen wiper stalk is
in the park position.
Risk of injury.
Filling and/or checking
the oil level: when
topping up or checking
the oil level, ensure that
no oil leaks onto the engine
components.
Do not forget to properly close the
cap and refit the dipstick to
prevent any oil spatter on hot
engine components.
Fire hazard.
