ENGINE OIL

Engine oil level should be checked monthly. Vehicle should be on a level surface when checking oil.
Do not overfill with oil.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
1. Remove the oil level dipstick from the oil filler tube and wipe oil from dipstick (Figure 11). See
following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not remove dipstick while engine is running.
2. Check oil by fully inserting the dipstick into the oil filler tube and immediately remove it again.
Do not screw in the cap when checking level.
3. If the oil level is at or below the low level mark on the dipstick gauge, add oil until the level is
between low and full levels (safe level).
4. Reinsert dipstick into the oil filler tube and be certain it is securely in place. Failure to securely
reinsert dipstick will result in oil leakage and damage to engine.

WARNING
• In order to maintain the excellent performance of your CUV engine, check the engine
oil level before every use.
• To avoid serious engine damage, always refill oil reservoir when the oil level is low.
Running the engine with low oil levels will cause the engine to overheat and seize. If
the engine seizes, it will have to be rebuilt by your Servicing Center.
• Engine repair cost resulting from damage caused by running the engine with low oil
levels is not covered under warranty
OIL VISCOSITY
Choose the oil grade viscosity according to the temperature in operating area as indicated by the Oil
Viscosity Recommendation Chart (Figure 12). See following NOTE.
NOTE: Using multi-grade oils (5W-20, 1OW-30, and 1OW-40) will increase oil consumption.
Check oil level more frequently when using them.
