Electronic Oil Measurement
The engine oil level is electronically monitored when travelling and shown in
the Driver Information panel. If the engine oil level reaches a minimum, a check
control message is shown.
A current measurement is available after approximately 30 minutes of the journey.
With a shorter journey, the status of the last sufficiently long journey is shown.
When frequently making short trips, regularly take a detailed measurement.
Adding Engine Oil
WARNING Danger of injury from hot engine.
Only top up a quantity of 1 litre (1,000ml) of engine oil when the message on the
driver information display is shown or the engine oil level has dropped to the lower
marking. Stop and apply the handbrake. Switch off the ignition. Allow the engine to
cool. Locate the oil filler cap positioned on the top of the engine, under the right
bonnet. Open the oil filler cap by turning anticlockwise. Add engine oil. Ensure not
to overfill with too much engine oil. Clean up any oil spillage on the cover plate.
Suitable Engine Oil Grade
Engine oils with the following oil specification can be used to top up if required:
ACEA C2/C3 Fully Synthetic engine oil of the highest possible quality.
Viscocity Class SAE 0W-30.
Oil Change
WARNING Engine oil not replaced in time can lead to increased engine
wear and / or engine damage. Do not exceed the service date indicated.
Morgan recommends having the engine oil changed by a certified Morgan
Dealership or specialist workshop.
The engine oil should be changed every 10,000 miles or annually. Run the engine to
normal temperature. Switch off the engine and remove drain plug from the sump.
When the oil has drained completely, clean and replace the plug with a new plug
gasket. Fit a new oil filter and fill with 6.5 litres (1.72 US Gall) of the correct grade
and quantity of oil. Replace the filler cap on the rocker cover and run the engine for
Oil Filler Cap located under the right bonnet.
