Engine oil
Notes on the oil level
Depending on your driving style, the vehicle
consumes up to 0.9 US qt (0.8 liters) of oil per
600 miles (1,000 km). The oil consumption may
be higher than this when the vehicle is new or if
you frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may be
in a different location.
It is only possible to correctly measure the oil
level when:
R
the engine is at normal operating temperature
R
the vehicle is parked on a level surface
R
the engine is left running in neutral for at least
30 seconds before switching off
This applies when checking the oil level using
the oil dipstick or on-board computer.
