To check the level, remove dipstick from
the dipstick tube, wipe it clean and re-insert

dipstick out again, check the oil level,
ensuring it is between the lower and up per
(or MIN and MAX) marks.

Engine oil level check and top ping up
The engine oil le vel must be c hecke d with
the vehicle horizontal and with the engine
(which must be at operating tempera ture)
switched off. Wait a few minutes before
checking the level to allow the normal oil
accumulation in the engine to d rain back
into the oil pan.
Top up if the engine oil level has dropped
to the "add oil" lower mark (or MIN mark).
The oil level must not go above the upper
(or MAX) mark on the dipstick. This would
lead, for example, to increased oil
consumption, excessive formation of
carbon residue and a possible risk of
damage to the catalytic converter or the
engine.
