ENGINE OIL A-fig. 1-2-3
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the en-
gine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground. The
oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick. The range between the MIN and MAX lev-
els corresponds to approximately 1 litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil
through the filler to reach the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km. When the car is new, the engine
needs to be run in, therefore the engine oil consumption
can only be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 -
6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the conditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check the level.
