Check the oil level with the vehicle parked on a flat, level surface. The engine must also be at operating temperature and have been switched off for at least 5 minutes.

Pull out the oil level dipstick, wipe it clean, insert it fully until it stops against the handle, then pull it out again and check the engine oil level.
