CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

61sa04a
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off,
check the oil level on the dipstick.
1. To get a true reading, the vehicle should be on a level
ground. After turning off the engine, wait a few 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. Standing up on the left side of the vehicle, reinsert the
dipstick in the direction so that the "ENGINE OIL" on top should
be read correctly and 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 end. If it is between the full line ( 5 ) and the
low line ( 4 ), it is O.K.
NOTICE
Be careful not to drop the engine oil on the vehicle
components.
