ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling
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 cap 1;
- top up the level (as a guide, the capacity between the “mini" and the "maxi" reading on the dipstick 2 is between 0.33 and 0.44 gallons (1.5 and 2 litres) depending on the engine);
- wait for approximately 20 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;
- check the level using the dipstick 2 (as described above).
Once the operation has been completed, ensure that the dipstick is pushed in as far as it will go or that the “cap-type dipstick” is completely screwed in.
Before performing any action in the engine compartment, the ignition must be switched off (please see the information on “Starting, stopping the engine” in Section 2).
Adding engine oil
Use a funnel or protect the filling neck area to avoid engine oil escaping onto a hot part of the engine compartment or a sensitive part (e.g. electrical components).
Fire hazard.
Do not exceed the “maxi" level and do not forget to refit the cap 1 and the dipstick 2.
