Checking the engine oil level

1. Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface.

2. Start the engine and let it reach normal operating temperature.

3. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes (about 5) for the oil to drain back into the sump.

WARNING Radiator hose: Take great care not to touch the radiator hose when checking or adding oil, as it may be hot enough to cause burns.

4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it fully.

5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level must be between F and L.

NOTICE Do not overfill the oil reservoir. The engine may be damaged.

If the level is near or at L, add enough oil to bring the level up to F. Do not add more.

Use a funnel to prevent oil from spilling onto engine components.

Use only the specified engine oil (refer to "Recommended Lubricants and Capacities" in section 8.)
