Notes on the oil level

WARNING
Hybrid vehicles: ensure that you read the "HYBRID" supplement. You may otherwise fail to recognize dangers.

Depending on the driving style, the vehicle consumes up to 0.9 US qts. (0.8 l) of oil over a distance of 600 miles (1000 km). The oil consumption may be higher than this when the vehicle is new or if you frequently drive at high engine speeds.
