Levels
Checks and Topping up
1 Engine oil dipstick
The engine oil level, which must lie between the ends of the cut-out
on the dipstick, must be checked from time to time between oil
changes and, in particular, before any long journey.
The check should be carried out with the car as level as possible,
after the engine has been stopped for at least 10 minutes.
To top up, add oil without the level going above the top end of the
dipstick cut-out. The length of the cut-out is equivalent to 7/8 imp.
pints (0,5 litre).
2 Engine oil filler pipe
In Summer, as in Winter, use "TOTAL Altigrade GT Spéciale
Autoroute 20 W 40" or "GTS 20 W 50" oil. If "TOTAL" oils are
not available, use equivalent grades of other reputable makes.
In very cold countries (temperatures often lower than -10C (14F),
use "TOTAL Altigrade GT Spéciale Autoroute 10 W 30" or "GTS
10 W 30" oil, or equivalent grades of other reputable makes.
Never use additives
Do not forget to tightly seal the oil filler cap.
