fig. 165 Required action according to the respective en-
gine oil level:
Range (A) Do not refill oil ⇒ .
Range (B) You may add oil (about 1 pint / 0.5 liter). The oil level
may go into the (A) range, but not above the (A)
range.
Range (C) You must add oil (about 1 quart / 1.0 liter). After add-
ing oil, make sure that the oil level is about in the
middle of the (B) range.
WARNING
Engine oil can ignite when it touches hot engine parts. This can
cause fires, burns, and other severe injuries.
Never spill oil on the engine. Oil spilled on a cold engine can
also cause a fire when the engine warms up.
Always make certain that you screw the cap of the engine oil
filler opening back on tightly after adding oil and that the dip-
stick has been pushed all the way back into the in the guide
tube. This helps prevent engine oil from leaking onto the hot
engine when the engine is running.
NOTICE
Do not start the engine if the engine oil level is above range
(A). Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility. Otherwise the catalytic converter
and engine can be damaged!
When changing or topping off fluids, make sure that you pour
the fluids into the correct reservoirs. Adding the wrong type of
operating fluids will cause serious malfunctions and engine
damage.
The engine oil level should never be above range (A). Otherwise
oil can be drawn in by the crankcase ventilation system and enter the
atmosphere via the exhaust system.
