MIN Lower edge
Ring marking
– The difference between the
two marks is approx. 0.5 litres
(0.88 Imp. pints)
If necessary, unscrew the oil filler screw 2 and top up the
engine oil through the engine

e Caution:
The engine oil pressure warning
light displaying a red

indicates that there is no oil
pump output or that the output
is too low. This does not fulfil
the function of an oil level
check. Oil pressure builds up
after 1-2 seconds and the
warning light goes out – the en-
gine oil pressure warning light
red
p should remain off while
the engine is running
