CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

62X001e
With the engine at operating temperature 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 the dipstick, and wipe it clean with a rag.
3. Standing up on the left side of the vehicle, reinsert the
dipstick in the direction so that the "ENGINE OIL" on top should
be read correctly and 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. If
it is between the full line ( 5 ) and the low line ( 4 ), it is O.K.
NOTICE
Make sure to hold a rag under the dipstick, to avoid
spilling drops of engine oil when you pull it out.
