General information

A combustion engine uses oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is normal to top up the level between oil changes.

However, contact your approved Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) after the running in period.

Oil change frequency : check the oil level from time to time and certainly before any long journey to avoid the risk of damaging your engine.
