3.8 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Ensure that the vehicle is entirely horizontal.
2. Pull the dipstick (2) out of the holder.
3. Wipe the dipstick clean with a lint-free cloth.
4. Put the dipstick back into the holder.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the oil
level.
Note:
It takes approx. 20 minutes for all the oil to
run into the sump when the engine is "warm".
If the dipstick is checked immediately after
switching the engine off or immediately after
oil has been added, the level shown on the
dipstick will be too low.
6. Fill oil through the filler opening (1) until the
oil level reaches the maximum mark. See
"Draining and filling". Always use the
specified oil. Do not top up above maximum
level.
Note:
For the difference between minimum and
maximum engine oil level, see "Technical
data".
