If the oil level is close to or under MIN,
add oil through the filler neck A, until the
level reaches MAX.
The oil level should never exceed MAX.ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the
vehicle, the engine is bedding in therefore
the engine oil consumption may settle
down only after the first 5,000–6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level. ENGINE OIL fig. 3-4
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
The oil level should be between the MIN
and MAXmarks on the dipstick B.
The gap between MINand MAXis equal
to around 1 litre of oil.
