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
The engine oil must be changed according to prescribed service intervals or according to the » Service plan service interval display
