The engine oil consumption is dependent on 
driving style and driving conditions.

1.

Park the vehicle on a level surface with the 
engine at operating temperature, i.e. after 
an uninterrupted drive of at least 6.2 miles/
10 km.

2.

Switch off the engine.

3.

After approx. 5 minutes, pull out the 
dipstick

5 and wipe it off with a lint-free 

cloth, paper towel or similar material.

4.

Carefully push the dipstick all the way back 
into the measuring tube and pull it out 
again. 
The oil level must be between the two 
markings on the dipstick.

The oil quantity between the two markings on 
the dipstick is equivalent to approx. 1 US quart/
1 liter.

The oil level must not be above the upper 
marking of the dipstick. Too much oil will 

harm the engine.

can have the oil level displayed while you are 
driving, or while the vehicle is at a standstill on 
a level surface and the engine is running.
