Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day).
– Unscrew the cap 2;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-pacity between the “MINI” and the
“MAXI” reading on the dipstick 1
is between 0.20 and 0.24 gallons
(0.9 and 1.1 litres) depending on the
engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 1
(as described above). Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go and that
the cap is completely screwed in.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (1/2)
Do not exceed the “MAXI” level and
do not forget to refit the cap
2 and
the dipstick 1.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.

level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (2/2) OIL CHANGE
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Engine oil change: if you
are changing the oil when
the engine is hot, be careful
not to scald yourself if the
oil overflows.
Filling: take care when
topping up the oil that
no oil drips onto engine
components - risk of fire.
Remember to refit the cap securely
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes
onto hot engine components.Please note when work-
ing close to the engine that
it may be hot. The engine
cooling fan may also start
at any moment. The
 warning
light in the engine compartment re-
minds you of this.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved dealer at

level, or be over the maximum level on
the dipstick).
