level surface. Place the
transmission in PARK.
2. Start the engine and allow
it to idle for 20-30 sec-
onds. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the seat. See page
29.
4. Remove the dipstick. Wipe
it dry with a clean cloth.
5. Reinstall the dipstick.
Screw it in completely.
6. Remove the dipstick. Make
sure that the oil level is in
the safe range. Add oil if
necessary. Do not overfill.
Tip: A rising oil level between checks in cool weather driving can indicate mois-
ture collecting in the oil reservoir. If the oil level is above the full mark,
change the oil.
