If the oil level is near or even under the
MINline, add oil through the filler Ato
reach the MAXline.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAXline.ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum
engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption
can only be considered stabilised
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 shall be included between the
MINand MAXmarks on the dipstick B.
The range between the MINand MAX
levels corresponds to approximately
one litre of oil.
