The oil level must be checked with the
vehicle on a level surface and with the
engine (which must be at operating
temperature) switched off. Wait at least
5 minutes before checking the level, to
allow the normal engine oil accumulation
in the engine to drain into the oil pan.
To check the engine oil level, insert wiped
oil dipstick into dipstick tube as far as it will
go. Top engine oil up if the level has
dropped into the range of the top-up mark
MIN
.
The engine oil level must not exceed the
upper mark
MAX
on the dipstick. Excess
engine oil must be drained off or extracted.
If the engine oil level is above the
MAX
mark there is a risk of damage to the
engine or the catalytic converter.
The amount filled must be between
the
