Engine oil
Checking engine oil level
1. Make sure the car is standing level
2. Switch off the engine, which should
be at its regular operating tempera-
ture
3. After about 5 minutes, pull out the
dipstick and wipe it clean with a lint-
free cloth, a paper tissue or similar
4. Carefully push the dipstick fully into
its tube, then pull it out again
5. The oil level must be between the
two marks on the dipstick.
Like fuel consumption, engine oil con-
sumption depends on driving style and
operating conditions.
