Preparations
●
Park the vehicle on flat ground so that the
engine oil reading is correct.
●
Stop the engine and wait a few minutes for
the oil to drain back into the sump. When the
engine has cooled down, immediately check
the oil level and top up if necessary.
●
Open the bonnet ››› page 214.
●
The engine oil filler neck can be recognised
by the symbol
on the cap ›
›› Fig. 166
and
the dipstick by its coloured handle.
Checking the engine oil level
●
Pull out the dipstick and wipe it on a clean
cloth.
●
Replace the dipstick, pushing it in as far as
it will go. If the dipstick has a mark, when you
reintroduce it this mark should slot into the
corresponding groove located on the upper
end of the tube.
●
Remove the dipstick again and check the
engine oil level ››› table on page 219.
●
After reading the oil level, replace the dip-
stick in the tube completely.
