ENGINE OIL CHECK
1.
Make sure that your vehicle is on level
ground.
2. Check the oil level before starting the
engine, or switch the engine off and wait
15 minutes for the oil to drain into the oil
pan.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean, lint free cloth. Replace the dipstick
and remove it again to check the oil level.
If the oil level is at the minimum mark, add
oil immediately. See
Capacities and
Specifications
(page 338).
Do not use supplemental engine oil additives
because they are unnecessary and could
lead to engine damage that may not be
covered by your vehicle warranty.
Note:
Make sure that the oil level is between
the minimum and the maximum marks.
Note:
The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately
3000 mi (5,000 km).
