Fig. 128 Principle sketch: Dipstick
The dipstick indicates the engine oil level » Fig. 128.
Checking the oil level
Ensure that the vehicle is positioned on a level surface and the engine has reached its operating temperature.
Wait a few minutes until the engine oil flows back into the sump.
Oil level within range A
No oil must be refilled.
Oil level within range B
Oil can be refilled. The oil level may lie in range A .
Oil level within range C
The engine must be topped up with oil so that the oil level at least reaches range B .
The engine burns some oil. The oil consumption may be as much as 0.5 l/ 1 000 km depending on your style of driving and the conditions under which you operate your vehicle. Consumption may be slightly higher than this during the first 5 000 kilometres.
The oil level must be checked at regular intervals. We recommend it be checked after each time you refuel or prior to making a long journey.
We recommend maintaining the oil level within the range A , but not above, if the engine has been operating at high loads, for example, during a lengthy motorway trip during the summer months, towing a trailer or negotiating a high mountain pass.
The warning light in the instrument cluster will indicate whether the oil level
is
too low » page 36, Engine oil.
Check the oil level using the dipstick as
soon as possible. Add oil accordingly.
CAUTION
Replenishing
Changing
