Check the specified temperature range while checking the oil level, if while filling an oil temperature between 20 °C to 40 °C (68°F to 104 °F) could not be guaranteed.

The oil temperature can be measured using the Digital Thermometer:VAS6519 .

If the oil temperature is not between 20 to 40 °C (68°F to 104 °F), either drive the vehicle to warm it up or let the oil temperature cool down.
