Engine Oil Level, Checking
Please observe the following:
-- After turning off the engine, wait at least three minutes for the oil to flow back into the oil pan.
-- Pull out the oil dipstick and wipe it with clean cloth. Insert the dipstick and push it all the way down.
-- Pull out dipstick again and read oil level.
The oil level must be at least in the upper third of the measuring field -B- during the pre-delivery inspection. So that the highest customer satisfaction can be reached.
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.
A -
Do not add oil.
B -
The oil can be filled to the maximum limit -A-.
C -
Add oil. The oil level must be at least in the upper half of the measuring range -B-.
-- Drain or extract some of the oil if the oil level goes above the maximum limit -A- to prevent damage to the catalytic converter.
-- If the oil level is under the minimum mark -C- fill with oil, minimum of 0.5 liters. Refer to MAINTENANCE TABLES THROUGH MY 2020 for the oil specification.
