Engine Oil Level Check

The best time to check the engine oil
level is when the oil is warm, such as
during a fuel stop. With the vehicle on
level ground, stop the engine and wait
a few minutes for the oil to drain back
to the oil pan.
Wipe the dipstick clean before
checking.
Add oil, if needed, only to
the upper mark (max.). Do
not overfill the engine.
