MAINTENANCE CHECKS
In this section will be found information necessary to maintain the car in good
mechanical condition in a temperate climate. Details of the intervals of service
may be found in the schedule at the back of this book. The time between
examinations is dependent on many things, particularly the type of use and the
road conditions. In dusty, extreme, or arduous conditions, the time between
services must be reduced. If a car is not in use for long periods the need for
regular attention is as great as for a vehicle in everyday use. The following details,
along with services from a Morgan distributor or dealer, will help to prolong the
life and enjoyment of the car.

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.
The engine must be left to rest for around 30 minutes in order for the electronic
oil measurement feature to be used. 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 (approximately 2 pints) 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.
