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 - Oil must not be replenished.  
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 suffi‐  
cient amount of oil (at least 0.5 l) ⇒ page 8 .
