Engine Oil, Checking Level






Engine Oil, Checking Level

Please observe the following:

- After stopping the engine, wait for at least 3 minutes for the oil to flow back into the oil pan.

- Pull the dipstick out, wipe if off with a clean cloth and then insert it back in all the way.

• Observe waste disposal regulations!

- Pull out dipstick again and read oil level.

If the dipstick appears as illustrated:






A Oil must not be topped off.
B Oil can be topped off. This will cause the oil level to be in area - A -.
C Oil must be topped off. It is sufficient when oil level is in area - B - (grooved field).

If oil level is above area - A -, the catalytic converter can be damaged.

- When oil level is below marking - C -, top off with oil to marking - A -.
