The oil level shall lie between the markings
on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the
“ADD” mark, top up the oil to the “FULL” mark
on the dipstick.
Never fill above the “FULL” mark.
The oil is filled through the hole for the
dipstick.
Use engine oil SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 or,
alternately, 10W/40, class SC–SJ
(over +32 °F/0 °C).
Over +68 °F /+20 °C SAE 40 can be used.
Use engine oil SAE 5W-20, class SC–SJ
(under +32 °F/0 °C).
The engine holds 1.6 qt./1.5 liters of oil
excluding the filter (including filter 1.8 qt./1.7
liters).

each wheel mount, until the grease is forced
