If the level is near or at the L (Low) mark, add enough oil to bring the level up to the F (Full) mark. Do not overfill.

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

Use only the specified engine oil (see "Recommended lubricants and capacities" in chapter 8).

WARNING
  • Do not pour in too much engine oil. This may damage the engine.
  • Take care not to spill oil when adding or changing engine oil. If engine oil gets onto the engine compartment, wipe it off immediately.
