i Depending on the engine, the difference
between the minimum mark and the maxi-
mum mark is approximately 1.5 – 2 litres.
! Do not add too much oil. If the oil level is
above the "max" mark on the dipstick, too
much oil has been added. This can lead to
damage to the engine or the catalytic con-
verter. Have excess oil siphoned off.
