Engine oil level:
general information
engine oil level: general information
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)
after the running in period.
oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the level using the
dipstick
– engine switched off;
– remove the dipstick (refer to the fol-
lowing pages for its location) and
wipe it with a clean lint-free cloth;
– push in the dipstick as far as it will
go;
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the level has been read, push the
dipstick in as far as it will go.

exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
The oil level should only be read with
the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.
Under no circumstances
should maximum filling
level B be exceeded: this
could damage the engine
and the catalytic converter.The engine may be hot
when working in close prox-
imity. In addition, the engine
cooling fan may start at any
moment.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
In order to prevent splashing, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling the oil.

– Unscrew cap 1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca-
pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on dipstick 2 is
between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending
on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using dipstick 2 (as
described above).
Once the level has been read, push the
dipstick in as far as it will go.t opping 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).

Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
