- Wait a few seconds to allow the oil to flow towards the engine oil pan and then
check the level.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum level mark. Starting the engine with incorrect oil
levels may cause serious damage. Clean up any spillage. Check the oil level
often and top up where necessary.
- Top up if necessary.
Waste used oil in authorized centres.
Coolant
system
Level of coolant: Checking
WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is hot. Wait until the
engine has cooled down.
The level of coolant should be between the “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the coolant
reservoir
(fig. 1)
.
If the coolant level is below the “MIN” mark, top up the expansion tank with coolant.
Check the engine, hoses and radiator for possible coolant leaks.
Coolant circuit: Draining
The coolant should be changed according to
FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS CHART
(references and capacities), or when the circuit is drained for repair purposes. To do so,
proceed as follows:
- Place a container below the radiator.
- Disconnect the lower radiator hose in order to drain the radiator here.
Coolant circuit: Filling and bleeding
- Before filling the circuit, re-connect the lower radiator hose.
- The circuit is filled through the coolant reservoir.
Proportions of coolant and distilled water:
Temperatures from -35 ºC to 145 ºC: 50 % glycol and 50 % distilled water.
- Start the engine until the thermostat opens.
