MAN — Checking oil level
Maintenance · engine lubrication / oil dipstick
From a MAN operator's manual covering: D 2842 LE 602, D 2842 LE 604, D 2842 LE 606, D2842 LE607. Check it applies to your exact model before use.
Before you start
- Do not add so much engine oil that the level rises above the max. marking; overfilling will damage the engine.
Procedure
- Check oil level with engine horizontal, at least 20 minutes after switching off
- Pull out dipstick
- Wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth and push it in again up to the stop
- Pull out dipstick again
- Oil level must be between the two notches and never below the lower notch; top up as necessary
