Engine oil level
the check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles with and electric oil
level gauge, or using the dipstick.
to e

your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face and the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). P
