After the first engine start, the oil level will be approximately at the upper edge of the "Do not fill" field - arrow 3 -.





- Start the engine and let it run at idle for 30 seconds.

- With the engine still, add 2.5 to 3 liters of oil to the oil tank.

- Remove the dipstick, wipe it off with a clean cloth and slide it back in as far as the stop.
