Engine
oil
consumption
The rate of the oil consumption depends on
the quality and viscosity of oil, the speed at
which the engine is operated, the climate,
and road conditions as well as amount of
dilution and oxidation of the
lubricant.
Because of these variables, no standard
rate of oil consumption can be established,
but
drivers should expect higher oil con­
sumption at high speeds and when the en­
gine is new.
Therefore, we recommend that you check
the oil level at regular intervals (for example,
each time you are refuelling, or before going
on a long trip).
If the oil level should go below the minimal
level, the
check engine oil level warn­
ing light*
in the instrument cluster will
come on. See page 144. You should check
the oil level using the oil dip stick as soon as
possible, and then top off the oil as neces­
sary.
Notes
•
The engine in your vehicle de­
pends on oil to lubricate and cool all
of its moving parts. Therefore the
engine oil should be checked regu­
larly and kept at the required level.
•
Lack of sufficient engine oil may
lead to severe engine damage.
•
The oil pressure warning light is
not an oil level indicator.
Always heed all WARNINGS
on page
232.
Checking the engine oil level
The best time to check the engine oil level
is when the oil is warm.
To get a true reading, the vehicle must be on
level ground.
Always heed all WARNINGS
on page
232.
•
After turning off the engine, wait a few
minutes for the oil to return to the oil pan.
VEHICLE CARE
•
Pull out dipstick (arrow) and wipe it clean
with a rag.
•
Reinsert dipstick; push it all the way in.
•
Pull dipstick out again and read the level:
a
-
You
must not
add oil.
b -
You
can
add oil. The oil level may go
into the
a
range, but riot above the
a
range
c
-
You
must
add oil.
After filling in oil, make sure that the oil
level is somewhere within the
b
range.
•
After checking the oil level, please make
sure that the dipstick is pushed back in all
the way.
