M Inspecting Engine Oil Level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on a level
surface.
2. Warm up the engine to normal
operating temperature.
3. Turn it off and wait 5 minutes for the
oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and
reinsert it fully.
5. Pull it out again and examine the level.
50
It's OK between MIN and MAX.
But if it's near or below MIN, add
enough oil to bring the level to MAX.
Don't add engine oil over MAX. This
may cause engine damage.
6. Make sure the O-ring is positioned
properly before reinserting the
dipstick.
