the check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
to e
nsure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face with 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

up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms). Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. t
