SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes
(about 5) after the engine has
stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
The oil level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick
B fig. 207 - fig. 208 - fig. 209 - fig.
210 - fig. 211 - fig. 212.
The range between the MIN and
MAX marks corresponds to about 1
litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the
MIN mark, add oil through the filler A
fig. 207 - fig. 208 - fig. 209 - fig.
210 - fig. 211 - fig. 212, until it
reaches the MAX mark.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil
consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1,000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine
needs to be run in, therefore the
engine oil consumption can only be
considered stabilised after the first
5,000 - 6,000 km.IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on the driving style and the
conditions under which the vehicle
is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or
changing the oil, let the engine turn
over for a few seconds and wait a
few minutes after turning it off before
checking oil level.

ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir. If the level is
low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
distilled water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
byPETRONAS LUBRICANTS
through the filler neck C fig. 207 -
fig. 208 - fig. 209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211
- fig. 212 until the level approaches
MAX.The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UP
and 50% distilled water protects
against freezing down to
temperatures of –35°C. For
particularly harsh climate conditions,
we recommended using a mixture
of 60% PARAFLU
UPand 40%
distilled water.

30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35 and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
