Checking and adding oil
The oil level should be checked every time the
vehicle is refueled. This is especially important
during the period up to the first scheduled
maintenance service

The car should be parked on a level surface
when the oil is checked.
•
If the engine is warm
, wait for at least
10–15 minutes after the engine has been
switched off before checking the oil.

Checking the oil
1.
Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-

Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check
the oil level.

the

1 US quart (1 liter) of oil.
4.
Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature.

CAUTION
•
Not checking the oil level regularly can
result in serious engine damage if the oil
level becomes too low.
•
Oil that is lower than the specified qual-
ity can damage the engine.
•
Always add oil of the same type and
viscosity as already used.
•
Never fill oil above the
MAX
mark. This
could cause an increase in oil consump-
tion.
