The engine should be at normal operating temperature. 3 Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag before checking the oil level. The oil level must not be below the MIN mark on the dipstick, but nor should it be above the MAX mark, since this could result in abnormal oil consumption. The distance between the MIN and MAX marks is equivalent to 1.0 l. NOTICE Too high an oil level can damage the engine. 2.0 Turbo (210 hp): When the engine is started, the engine oil level is checked. If the level is too low, the following message appears on the DIC: Checkoil level. If this occurs the oil level must be checked first. If the level is too low then it must be topped up. 1.9TiD and 1.9 TTiD: The engine is equipped with an engine oil level sensor that is active when the engine is running. If the level sinks too low, the following message appears on the DIC: Checkoil level. If this occurs the oil level must be checked first. If the level is too low then it must be topped up.
