Checking the engine oil level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level
ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to
reach a normal operating temper-
ature.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for the
oil fluctuation to stabilize in the oil
pan (approximately 5 minutes).
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean,
and re-insert it fully.
WARNING
- Radiator hose
Do not touch the radiator hose
while checking or adding the
engine oil. This may burn your
skin.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the level. The level should
be between F and L.
NOTICE
• Do not overfill the engine oil.
This may damage the engine.
• Do not spill out the engine oil,
while adding or changing it. If
you spill out the engine oil in the
engine compartment, immedi-
ately wipe it off.
