The lubrication system is responsible for the

Beyond of lubricating, the oil has the function of
absorbing the heat generated by the friction of the
mobile parts.
Level

and stopped.
1.
Wait from 10 to 15 minutes to allow the oil
return from the upper part of the engine.
2.
Remove oil dipstick and clean it with a clean
cloth, introduce it until the edge, remove it
again and check level, twice, to make sure of
the check.
Complete the oil level only if the oil mark is below
the dipstick lower mark, the difference between
the volume of the maximum mark and the
minimum mark is 1 liter. Always use oil of the
same specification.
Warning:
If oil level is frequently low, seek
a distributor and / or authorized
service.
