Never exceed the "MAX" mark or let oil level drop below the "MIN" mark, as this may lead to severe engine damage. If necessary, top up engine oil level as follows:
CHECKING AND TOPPING UP ENGINE OIL LEVEL Carefully read page 42 (ENGINE OIL) and page 57 (MAINTENANCE).

If you check level when the engine is cold, oil level may have temporarily dropped below the "MIN" mark. This is not a problem, provided that the alarm light “ ! ” and the engine oil pressure icon “ ” do not come on, see page 15 (INSTRUMENTS AND INDICATORS TABLE).
NOTE Letting the engine idle with the vehicle at standstill is not the correct procedure to warm engine and engine oil up to operating temperature for an oil check. Oil is best checked after a trip or after travelling approximately 15 km (10 mi) out of town (this is sufficient to bring engine oil up to operating temperature). u Stop
the engine, see page 54 (STOPPING). u Keep the vehicle in vertical position, the two wheels resting on the ground. u Undo the filler plug/oil dipstick (1).
u Unscrew and remove the filler plug (1).
CAUTION Do not add any additives or other products to the oil. If you use a funnel or other tools, make sure that they are perfectly clean.
NOTE Use high-quality 10W - 60 oil, see page 93 (LUBRICANT CHART). Top up to correct level, see page 93 (LUBRICANT CHART).
