1. Pull the oil dipstick out of the guide tube and wipe it off with a clean cloth.
2. Insert the oil dipstick into the guide tube again as far as it will go. If there is a marking on the oil dipstick, this marking must fit in
the corresponding groove at the top end of the guide tube when inserting.
3. Pull out the oil dipstick again and read the engine oil level on the dipstick as follows → Fig. 2:
A Engine oil level is too high. Observe any messages on the instrument cluster display or seek expert assistance if necessary.
B Engine oil level in the normal range. The engine oil can be filled to the upper limit of this range, e.g. if the engine is operated
at high loads →
.
C Engine oil level too low. It is essential to add engine oil. If necessary, observe the messages in the instrument cluster display
→
.
4. After reading off the engine oil level, push the oil dipstick back into the guide tube as far as it will go. If necessary, continue to
refill with engine oil.
When the vehicle is working particularly hard, the engine oil level should be kept within the upper permissible area, for instance during
extended motorway trips in summer or when climbing mountain passes.
Adding engine oil
WARNING
If engine oil leaks or overflows when adding oil and gets onto parts of the engine that are hot or can become hot, the engine oil may
ignite. This can cause fires or burns. This can result in serious or fatal injuries.
● Always ensure that the engine oil filler opening cap is securely tightened after refilling, and that the dipstick is properly inserted
back into the guide tube.
● Always use a suitable filling aid when adding engine oil.
These steps should be followed in the given order only →
→
:
1. Unscrew the cap of the engine oil filler opening → Fig. 1.
2. Fill engine oil gradually in small quantities, not more than 0.5 l (0.5 qt) in total, or observe the recommendation on the
instrument cluster display.
3. In order to avoid overfilling, wait for at least 1 minute after each refill step to allow the engine oil to flow into the sump up to the
marking on the engine oil dipstick.
4. Read the engine oil level from the dipstick again before refilling with a further small quantity of engine oil. After filling, the
engine oil level should be in the middle of the area → Fig. 2 B .
5. Do not start the engine if you have added an excessive amount of engine oil by accident and the engine oil level is thus above
area → Fig. 2 A → . Seek expert assistance.
6. After refilling, close the engine oil filler opening with the cap → Fig. 1.
7. Close the bonnet.
NOTICE
If the engine oil level is too high after topping up and the engine is started, this can damage the engine.
● Do not start the engine and seek qualified professional assistance.
NOTICE
The use of incorrect service fluids could result in serious malfunctions and engine damage.
● When refilling service fluids, ensure that you pour the correct service fluids into the correct openings.
