Check level of engine lubrication oil
Dipstick
In order to verify the level of lubricating oil, the engine
must be stopped and cooled down.
The dipstick is located at the right side (seen from the
rear) of the engine, in between the oil filter and the
raw water pump.
Oil level
The markings on the dipstick indicate the upper and
the lower limit of the oil level. The correct oil level is
spot-on or close to the upper mark. If the engine has
not enough oil, fresh oil of the same specifications
must be added. The difference between the upper and
the lower mark is about 2 liters of oil.
Make sure that no oil is added above the
upper mark of the dipstick.
.
Any lubricating oil in excess will be burnt
in the cylinders, causing black smoke
from the exhaust and strong internal
pollution of the engine.
Topping up the lubrication oil
The filler cap is located on top of the rocker cover at
the front of the engine; at the right side of the engine
there is another filling entry.
Do not spill oil over the engine; better
use a funnel when adding oil.
