Engine oil level
In 4T engines, engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, main bearings
and thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to
the engine itself. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and
consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly reflect the
conditions of use (i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all the time, oil consumption
increases). The replacement frequencies provided for by the maintenance programme
are defined, depending on the total contents of oil in the engine and average con-
sumption measured following standardised methods. In order to prevent any prob-
lems, we recommend checking oil level more frequently than indicated in the
Scheduled Maintenance table or before setting off on long journeys. The vehicle
is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument pan-
el.
Engine oil level check (03_01, 03_02)
Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when the
engine is cold (after completely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level should
be somewhere between the MAX and MIN reference marks on the dipstick «A»; during
the oil check, the vehicle must be resting on its centre stand on an even, horizontal
surface.
If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot
engine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, wait at least
10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level.
Engine oil top-up
Always check the oil level before carrying out top ups and add oil without exceeding
the MAX level. Getting an oil level between the MIN and MAX levels requires ~ 400
cm³ of oil. An oil check-up and top-up should be carried out at any Authorised Service
Centre, as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table.
Warning light (insufficient oil pressure)
The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that lights up when the key is turned to
the «ON». However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. If
the light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is
