Check the oil level in the engine
The oil level in the engine should be
checked each time the fuel tank is filled.
Carry out the check with the engine
switched off by using the oil dipstick
which is on the left-hand side of the
engine.
The oil level should be between the two
marks on the dipstick. It must
never be
permitted to go down below the lower
mark,
but on the other hand the oil level
should not be above the upper mark since
oil consumption will then be abnormally
high.
If necessary top up with new oil
o f the
same type already in the engine.

Changing the engine oil
For lubrication of the engine, oil "For Service MS" should be used. The
viscosity should be selected according to the table below. Multigrade oil
SAE 10 W-30, which covers the entire temperature range, is recommen-
ded.
The intervals between oil changes depend to a great extent on the driving
conditions to which the engine is subjected, as can be seen from the
table below.
Light driving conditions
concern long-distance driving on motorways with
the engine thoroughly warm and with infrequent stopping and starting.
Normal driving conditions
concern relatively short distances (not inter-
rupted by frequent stopping and starting), when the engine is able to
become warm but cools down between individual journeys.
Unfavourable driving conditions
concern continuous driving in congested
traffic
with much stopping and starting and long periods with the engine
idling.
