If the oil level is near or even under the
MIN line, add oil through the filler A to
reach the MAX line.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX line.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level.
ENGINE OIL fig. 5-6-7-8
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
The oil level shall be included between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick B.
The range between the MIN and MAX
levels corresponds to approximately
one litre of oil.
