Service” in this section) it is necessary
to check the engine oil level.
The best time to check the engine oil
level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed up engine is shut off or
before starting the engine after it has
sat overnight. In both cases the vehicle
should be parked on level ground to
improve the accuracy of the oil level
readings.
CAUTION!
• Do not top up with oil with different
characteristics than the engine one
(refer to “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”).
• Overfilling or underfilling the oil pan
will cause aeration or loss of oil
pressure. This could damage your
engine.
• Do not add any supplemental
materials to the engine oil. Engine
oil is an engineered product, and its
performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives.
• Remove the dipstick and clean it
with
a dry
and clean cloth. • Re-insert the dipstick completely and
remove: the oil level should maintain
between the “MIN” and “MAX”
reference ranges (SAFE range).
• If a refilling is necessary: unscrew the
filler neck cap. • Adding 1.1 Quart (1 liter) of oil
when the level is at the bottom of
the SAFE range will result in the
level being at the top of the SAFE
range.
• Return the cap and dipstick to their
position and wait for a few minutes
to allow the oil to reach the oil pan.
• Check the level again.
