Version 1

NOTE:

The amount of oil used during an engine oil change from the service table is determined by trial, and is sufficient for the engine operation in all operating conditions. For all services the oil level must be adjusted if necessary if the customer requests it. This makes an additional filling possible to the specified oil change amount to the maximum limit on the dipstick. Due to tolerances and also to oil temperature and flow back time, different fill capacities are possible.

When using B20-fuel (diesel fuel with 20 % bio biodiesel) there is a higher amount of fuel entry in the engine oil. The -1- compensates for possible overfilling, that can occur due to fuel entry.
