The correct engine oil level is of para-
mount importance. An excessively
high or low oil level may result in
irreparable damage being sustained by
the engine. The engine oil level must
be checked on a daily basis, whenever
the vehicle is refuelled or before start-
ing a long trip, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an
approved grade and specification of oil
is used to avoid the possibility of
serious engine damage and premature
wear. The use of "budget price" oil is
a false economy that must be avoided
if the maximum reliability and useful
life is to be obtained from the vehicle.

ment of the engine by means of the

recommendations are complete in

in invalidation of the vehicle warranty.
