CAUTION

The dipstick must be inserted in place to prevent oil spillage from the dipstick hole while filling the engine with oil.

See “Capacities and recommended fuel/ lubricants” in the “9. Technical and consumer information” section for drain and refill capac- ity. The drain and refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifications for reference only. Always use the dipstick to determine the proper amount of oil in the engine.

10.Start the engine and check for leakage around the drain plug and the oil filter. Correct as required.
