Checking the oil 1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a lint-free rag. 2. Reinsert the dipstick, pull it out, and check the oil level. 3. Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to the MIN mark, add approximately 1 US quart (1 liter) of oil. 4. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. 5. Switch off the engine and wait for at least 10-15 minutes and recheck the oil level. If necessary, add oil until the level is near the MAX mark. NOTE Not checking the oil level regularly can result in serious engine damage if the oil level becomes too low. Oil that is lower than the specified quality can damage the engine. Always add oil of the same type and viscosity as already used. Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This could cause an increase in oil consumption. 190 09 Maintenance and servicing Fluids WARNING Do not allow oil to spill onto or come into contact with hot exhaust pipe surfaces
