Then start the diesel engine from the driver's seat and let it idle for about one minute.
Shut down the diesel engine.
Check the oil level with the dipstick approx. 5 minutes after the diesel engine has been
shut down. When the oil has been collected in the oil sump, the oil level should be in
the middle between the min. and the max. marking on the oil dipstick. Do not fill in too
much engine oil.
Check the diesel engine and oil filter for leaks (visual inspection).
ADVICE
We recommend to keep the engine oil level at a midpoint between the min. and max.
markings of the dipstick in order to achieve low engine oil consumption.
