With the engine at operating tempera-
ture and turned off, check the oil level
on the dipstick.
1. To get a true reading, the vehicle
should be on a level spot. After turning
off the engine, wait a few minutes for
the oil to drain back into the bottom of
the engine.
2. Pull out t!'1e dipstick, and wipe it clean
with a rag.
3. Reinsert the dipstick-push it in as far
as it will go, or the reading will not be
correct.
4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil
level on the end.

&
CAUTION
Be careful not to touch the hot ex-
haust manifold.
If the oil level is below or only slightly
above the low level, add engine oil of
the same type as already in the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine
oil in small quantities at a time, checking
the dipstick.
The approximate quantity of oil needed to
fill between the low level and the full level
on the dipstick is indicated below for refer-
ence.
When the level reaches within the correct
range, install the filler cap hand-tight.
Oil quantity, L (qt., Imp. qt.):
2.2 (2.3, 1.9)
NOTICE
• Avoid overfilling, or the engine
could be damaged.
• Check the oil level
on
the dipstick
once again after adding the oil.
ENGINE OIL SELECTION
Gasoline engine-
Use API grade SJ "Energy-Conserving",
SL "Energy-Conserving" or ILSAC
multigrade engine oil.
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
27 38
80 100
Temperature range anticipated before
next oil change
OlL003
Recommended viscosity is as shown in
the illustration.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a higher
viscosity engine oil in extremely low
temperatures, the engine may become
difficult to start, so SAE 5W-30 engine
oil is recommended.
