nician.
Checking and adding oilThe oil level should be checked every time the
vehicle is refueled. This is especially important
during the period up to the first scheduled
maintenance service•
The car should be parked on a level surface
when the oil is checked.

If the engine is warm, wait for at least 10–
15 minutes after the engine has been
switched off before checking the oil.

CAUTION

Not checking the oil level regularly can
result in serious engine damage if the oil
level becomes too low.

Oil that is lower than the specified qual-
ity can damage the engine.

Always add oil of the same type and
viscosity as already used.

Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This
could cause an increase in oil consump-
tion.
