TOPPING UP THE OIL [G2833153]

CAUTION:

The vehicle's warranty may be invalidated if damage is caused by using oil that does not meet the required specification. See LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS.

CAUTION:

Before driving off-road, top up the engine oil level to the maximum mark on the engine oil level dipstick. Failure to do so could result in an insufficient oil level when driving at certain angles off-road, which could cause damage to the engine.

CAUTION:

Failure to use an oil that meets the required specification could cause excessive engine wear, a build-up of sludge and deposits, and increase pollution. A resultant cause could be engine failure.

CAUTION:

Overfilling with oil could result in severe engine damage. Add engine oil in small quantities. Recheck the level to make sure the engine is not overfilled.

CAUTION:

Use of the correct oil specification is essential. Make sure the oil is suitable for the climatic conditions in which the vehicle is to be operated.

To top up the oil:

  1. Always make sure that the engine is switched off.
  2. Turn the oil filler cap counter-clockwise to remove.
  3. If the oil level is below the lower mark, add 1 L of oil. Recheck the oil level using the dipstick.
  4. Clean up any oil spilled during topping up.
  5. Check the oil level again after 5 minutes.
  6. To refit the oil filler cap, turn the cap clockwise until a resistance is felt.
