ENGINE OIL

Checking the Engine Oil Level

1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer's
precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level
ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake set and the wheels blocked.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the
engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
4. Turn the engine off and wait about ten
minutes for the oil to return to the oil
pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and
re-insert it fully.
6. Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level. The level should be between
F (Full) and L (Low).
7. If it is near or at L, add enough oil to
bring the level to F.
Use only the specified engine oil (Refer
to "Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities" section in chapter 2).
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your engine:
• Do not overfill with engine oil. Add oil
in small quantities and recheck level
to ensure engine is not overfilled.
• Do not spill engine oil when adding
or changing engine oil. Use a funnel
to help prevent oil from being spilled
on engine components. Wipe off
spilled oil immediately.
