Engine oil

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

Checking oil level

With the engine at operating temperature,
i.e. after at least 6 miles/10 km of uninter-
rupted driving, park the vehicle in a horizon-
tal position.

Switch off the engine.

After approx. 5 minutes, pull out the dip-
stick

4 and wipe it off with a clean lint-free

cloth, paper towel, or similar material.

Carefully push the dipstick all the way into
the guide tube and pull it out again.

The oil should extend to between the two
marks on the dipstick.

The oil quantity between the middle of the two
marks on the dipstick is approx. 1.6 US quarts/
1.5 liters.
