IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the car utilisation conditions.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after
switching it off before checking the level. ENGINE OIL fig. 175 – 176 and 177
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the en-
gine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.
Check the level is within the MIN. and MAX. marks on the
dipstick B.
The range between the MIN. and MAX. marks corre-
sponds to about 1 litre of oil. If the oil level is close to or
actually below the MIN. mark, pour in the prescribed oil
through the filler A until it reaches the MAX mark. The oil
level must never exceed the MAX mark.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTIONThe maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs to be run in, there-
fore the engine oil consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 ÷ 6,000 km.
