Adding engine oil
Too much, not enough or incorrect engine oil can cause engine damage.
Loss of output and engine damage.
☞ Add engine oil above the MIN mark of oil dipstick 234/A.
☞ Do not add engine oil above the MAX mark of oil dipstick 261/A.
☞ Use only the specified engine oil (refill with the same engine oil).
Adding the engine oil too fast via the filler inlet in the valve cover can cause
engine damage.

Use a suitable container to collect the engine oil as it drains and dispose of it in
an environmentally friendly manner.

• Open filler cap B.
• Raise oil dipstick A slightly to allow any trapped air to escape.

• Push oil dipstick A back in as far as possible.
