return to the oil pan.

re-insert it fully.

CAUTION -
Overfilling the engine oil may cause
severe dieseling due to churning
effect. It may lead to engine damage
accompanied with abrupt engine
speed increment, combustion noise
and white smoke emission.
If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring
Diesel engine
the level to F. Do not overfill.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil from
being spilled on engine components.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capaci-
ties" in section 8.)
