Engine Oil Check

  1. Check the engine oil quality.

    Check the oil quality for water contamination, discoloration, or dilution.

    If the oil quality is clearly poor, replace the oil.

    After warming up the engine for five minutes, stop the engine and check the oil level. The level should be between the "L" and "F" marks on the dipstick.

    If the level is low, check for oil leaks and add oil up to the "F" mark on the dipstick.
