Checking The Engine Oil Level - Toyota Coaster 2015 Owner's Manual

Checking the engine oil level

Low level Full level
Add oil O.K.
Require care
Change oil
With the engine at operating tempera-
ture and turned off, check the oil level
on the dipstick.
1. To get a correct reading, the vehicle
should be on level ground. After warn-
ing up the engine and turning if off,
wait more than five minutes for the oil
to drain back into the bottom of the
engine.
2. Pull the dipstick out, hold a rag under
the end and wipe it clean.
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 while holding a rag under the
"´" mark end.
Be careful not to drop engine oil on
the vehicle components.
If the engine oil level is above the full
level—
If the level is between the full level and
the "x" mark, operation of the vehicle
can continue. However, the oil level will
need to be checked more often.
As your vehicle is equipped with the DPF
(diesel particulate filter) system, the oil
may contain some fuel. The oil level is
therefore likely to exceed the full level.
For details, see "DPF system" in Section
2.
If the level is over the "x" mark, the oil
may contain a significant amount of
fuel. To avoid engine damage, change
the oil as soon as possible.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Operating the vehicle when the engine
oil contains a significant amount of
diesel fuel may result in damage to
the engine. If a significant amount of
fuel is present, change the oil as
soon as possible.
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. We recommend that you use
a funnel when adding oil.
The approximate quantity of oil needed to
raise the level between low and full on the
dipstick is indicated as follows:
1.1 L (1.2 qt., 1.0 Imp. qt.)
For the engine oil capacity, see "Service
specifications" in Section 8.
When the level reaches within the correct
range, install the filler cap hand−tight.
