Note
♦ The oil level must always be in the upper third of area -B-
for the delivery inspection. This way, you will achieve the
greatest possible customer satisfaction.
♦ The oil-change quantity in the service table was determined
experimentally and is sufficient for the technical functionality
of the engine in all operating conditions. During all other
service events, the oil level must be checked and corrected
as necessary if the customer requests this. This enables
an additional topping-up to the specified oil quantity to the
upper limit of the dip stick. Due to tolerances, the oil temper‐
ature and the drip time, various quantities may be required
for topping up.
A - Do not top up oil.
B - Oil can be replenished up to the max. mark -A-.
C - Oil must be replenished. The oil level must then be at least
in the upper half of the measuring area -B-.
– If oil level is above max. mark -A-, drain or extract excess oil
to prevent damage to catalytic converter.
– If the oil level is below min. marking -C- replenish a sufficient
amount of oil (at least 0.5 l) ⇒ page 10 .
