invalidated if damage is caused by Your vehicle warranty may be invalidated if damage is caused by using oil that does not meet the required specification.
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. It could also lead to engine failure.
Overfilling with oil could result in severe engine damage. Oil should be added in small quantities and the level re-checked to ensure that the engine is not overfilled.

1. Remove the oil filler cap.

2. Add oil to maintain the level between the MIN and MAX marks or notches on the dipstick.

3. Clean up any oil spilled during topping-up.

4. Check the oil level again after 5 minutes.

It is essential to use the correct specification oil and to ensure it is suitable for the climatic conditions in which the vehicle is to be operated.

Note: The approximate quantity of oil required to raise the level from MIN to MAX on the petrol engine dipstick is 0.85 litres (1.5 pints) and on the diesel engine dipstick is 1.5 litres (2.6 pints).
