back into the bottom of the engine.
Remove the sand and dust from around the dipstick.
Holding a rag under the end,
pull the dipstick out.
Wipe the dipstick clean.
Make sure that the inlet of the oil level gauge guide and O-ring of the
dipstick are free from sand and dust.
If the O-ring is damaged, replace it with a new one.
Reinsert the dipstick fully.

situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be
refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.
● When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or
after replacing the engine
● If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used
● When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing
(models for model code destination W*), or when driving while accelerating
or decelerating frequently
