- Make sure the vehicle is standing on level ground.
- Start the engine and let it reach normal operating temperature.
- Stop the engine and wait a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
- Pull out the oil level dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it fully.
- Pull out the dipstick again and check the level.

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.
