The difference between the MAX and MIN volumes is 0.2 liters. Check the oil temperature in the transmission.

At room temperature (+20°C) the oil level is close to the MIN mark on the "cold area".

At room temperature (+20°C) and low oil level  the oil barely reaches the dipstick.

The "cold range" (+40°C) is reached after approximately 15 minutes idling in the workshop, while the "hot range" (+80°C) is reached after approximately 30 minutes highway driving at an air temperature above +15°C.

NOTE: The check must be carried out at an oil temperature of +80°C. Go to vehicle communication function group 4. Select the digital display parameter. Select the parameter for the transmission oil temperature.
