Adding engine oil
Too much, not enough or incorrect engine oil can cause engine damage! For
this reason:
☞Do not add engine oil above the MAX mark of oil dipstick 6/A
☞Do not fill in engine oil below the MIN mark of oil dipstick 6/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!
Adding the engine oil too fast via filler inlet B in the cylinder-head cover can
cause engine damage.
☞Add the engine oil slowly so it can go down without entering the intake system.
• Clean the area around oil filler cap B with a lint-free cloth
• Open filler cap B
• Pull out oil dipstick A and wipe it with a lint-free cloth
• Add engine oil
• Wait about 3 minutes until all the oil has run into the oil sump
• Check the oil level – see Checking the oil level on page 3-18
• Add oil if necessary and check the oil level again
• Close filler cap B
• Push oil dipstick A back in as far as possible
• Completely remove all oil spills
• Close and lock the engine cover
