Powertrain / Engine Oil System / Engine Oil System - Service Procedures / DA-RM-05F003-00-002 - Check engine oil level
Check engine oil level
 
Care Point:
Risk of component damage:
Do not increase engine speed unless performing oil level check.
Engine speed must not increase 2000rpm until oil level check has been completed and passed.
Care Point:
The oil level check is completed with the engine running at 2000rpm for 120 seconds.
 
1.  
The following conditions must be met to allow an engine oil level check to be carried out:
 
 
Care Point:
•
The vehicle must be stationary and positioned on a level surface.
•
Engine running with the throttle pedal fully released.
•
Neutral gear selected and the foot brake applied (use left foot).
If any of these conditions are not met, a warning message will be displayed on the Driver Display.
Care Point:
The foot brake must be applied for the entire duration of the oil level check.
Care Point:
The oil level status can be viewed in the Vehicle information section in the Driver Display.
 
2.  
Start the engine and navigate Driver Display to Oil Level Check.
 
3.  
If all prerequisite conditions have been met you will be taken to the apply throttle screen.
 

 
Care Point:
Allow the engine oil temperature to reach a temperature of 90°C (measured via the oil level sensor).
Care Point:
The oil level check will limit the rpm input to 2000rpm once the test has begun, but the throttle must be applied for the duration of the oil level check. If the throttle pedal is released and the engine speed drops below 2000 rpm during the oil level check, then the oil level check will abort, and return you to the apply throttle screen.
The 120 second countdown timer will begin when the oil temperature has exceeded 90°C.
 
4.  
Apply throttle and raise the engine speed to 2000 rpm.
 
 
Care Point:
The line on the display indicates the target oil level.
Care Point:
Once the oil level check has been completed and returned a value, do not continue to test the system. This may lead to aeration of the oil and return a false value. To end the oil level check, release the throttle and abort back to the vehicle info menu.
 
5.  
When the timer has reached '0
 
 
Care Point:
The engine must be switched off and the Driver Display must be returned to the vehicle info menu before carrying out an oil top up and retest.
 
6.  
If the engine oil is below target level, top up with the correct quantity of oil, in accordance to the graphic opposite. Approximately 0.75 litres are required to raise the level from minimum to target level.
 
7.  
Carry out the oil level check process to make sure the level is correct.
