Engine oil level: checking
Note the following:
– After shutting off engine, wait at least 3 minutes so that the
oil can flow back into the sump.
– Pull out dipstick, wipe with a clean cloth and push dipstick in
again to limit stop.
– Pull dipstick out again and read oil level.
Note
♦ The oil level must always be in the upper third of area -B-
for the delivery inspection. This way, you will achieve the
greatest possible customer satisfaction.
♦ The oil-change quantity in the service table was determined
experimentally and is sufficient for the technical functionality
of the engine in all operating conditions. During all other
service events, the oil level must be checked and corrected
as necessary if the customer requests this. This enables
an additional topping-up to the specified oil quantity to the
upper limit of the dip stick. Due to tolerances, the oil temper‐
ature and the drip time, various quantities may be required
for topping up.
A - Do not top up oil.

Notes on engines with turbocharger
After the engine oil has been changed and the oil filter has been
renewed, observe the following when starting the engine for the
first time:
♦ The engine must only run at idling speed as long as the oil
pressure warning lamp lights up in dash panel.
♦ Do not rev up!
♦ The full oil pressure is not attained until the warning lamp
has gone out. Only then can the engine be revved up.
NOTICE
If the engine is revved up the turbocharger can be damaged
or fail completely. Since the turbocharger runs at very high
speeds, the bearings may fail within seconds in the event of
inadequate lubrication.
If leaks, vibrations and unusual noises are encountered on the
turbocharger, immediately switch off the engine.

Engine oil: draining and renewing oil

NOTICE
♦ Catalytic converter damage due to excessive engine oil in
the engine. Too much oil remains after extracting.
♦ Always drain engine oil. Vacuum extraction is not allowed.
