4. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
NOTE: Rising oil level between checks in cool
weather driving, can indicate moisture collecting in
the oil reservoir. If the oil level is over the full mark,
change the oil.
5. Add the recommended oil as needed.
NOTE: Do not fill over the normal oil operating
range, because it could cause a mist of oil to enter
the air box.
