Draining method.
The oil capacities are defined according to the following methods.
1) - Vehicle on level surface (in high position, if equipped with hydropneumatic suspension).
2) - Engine warm (oil temperature 80°C).
3) - Draining of the oil sump + removal of the cartridge (duration of draining + dripping = 15 min).
4) - Refit plug + cartridge.
5) - Engine filling.
6) - Engine starting (allowing the cartridge to be filled).
7) - Engine stopped (stationary for 5 min).
ESSENTIAL : Systematically check the oil level using the oil dipstick.
