Engine Oil

Keep your engine properly
lubricated by keeping the engine oil
at the correct level.
It is normal for an engine to
consume some engine oil.
Check the oil level at regular
intervals such as every time you
stop for fuel.
In order to get an accurate reading,
the oil must be warm and the
vehicle must be on level ground.
Checking engine oil level
1. Park vehicle on level ground.
2. Turn off the engine and give the
oil 5 minutes to drain back into
the oil pan. If this is not done,
the oil dipstick might not show
the actual level.
3. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it
clean.
4. Re-insert dipstick completely.

depending on engine variant.
