While the oil services and inspections have nominal distance and
time-related intervals of 24,150 km or 12 months, by measuring
fuel consumption the car’s monitoring system is also able to assess
the owner’s driving style and the type of motoring to which the
car is subjected. These additional factors will affect the point at

ENGINE OIL
Driving the car with the engine oil level ABOVE the upper
mark, or BELOW the lower mark on the dipstick, will
damage the engine.
Check the oil level weekly, or whenever you fill up with fuel.
Ideally the oil level should be checked with the engine cold and
the car resting on level ground. However, if the car is in use and
the engine is already warm, wait for at least two minutes after
switching off before checking the level.
NOTE: Check the engine oil more frequently if the car is driven at high
speeds for prolonged periods.
Oil level check & top-up
H2673
Petrol engines
Take care to avoid spilling engine oil onto a hot engine - a fire
may result!
1. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade clean.
2. Slowly insert the dipstick and withdraw again to check the
level, which should NEVER be allowed to fall below the
lower mark on the dipstick.
3. To top-up, remove the oil filler cap and add oil to maintain a
level between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. As
a general guide, if the level on the dipstick is:
• nearer to the upper mark than the lower, add no oil.
• nearer to the lower mark than the upper, add half a litre
of oil.
• at or below the lower mark, add one litre of oil.
4. Wait for five minutes and then recheck the level, adding more

oil if necessary - DO NOT OVERFILL!
