Engine oil level
In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench
bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious
damage to the engine itself. In all 4T engines the decay of oil characteristics as well
as some consumption is normal. Consumption can particularly reflect the conditions
of use (i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all the time, oil consumption increases).
In order to avoid problems, it is advisable to control oil level every time the
vehicle is used.
Engine oil level check (03_01, 03_02)
Check oil level every time the vehicle is used, with the engine cold. The level should
be between the MAX and MIN marks on the oil level dipstick "A" shown in the figure;
the stand should be firm on an even surface during the check.
If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot
engine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check it is necessary
to wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped, so as to get the correct
level.
Check by pushing the dipstick all the way into the hole.
CAUTION
USING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH THE WRONG
LUBRICANTS MAY INCREASE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE MOVING PARTS AND
MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
