connections, and have damaged compo-
nents replaced. Make sure the piping sys-
tem is airtight so that all intake air passes
through the air cleaner.
6. Check the engine oil level.
NOTICE
Operating the engine with the oil level below the
minimum fill (or "add") mark or above the maxi-
mum fill (or "full") mark could result in engine
damage.
6.1 Park the vehicle on a level surface. Allow
several minutes for the oil to drain back
into the oil pan to ensure an accurate
reading.
NOTE: Follow the engine manufacturer's
guidelines for engine shutdown time require-
ments prior to checking the oil level.

6.2 Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a
paper towel or cloth, then push the dip-
stick back in all the way. Remove it again,
keeping the tip down, and check the oil
level.
6.3
If the oil is below the cross-hatched area,
or the add mark, at the tip of the dipstick,
add at least one quart (liter) of the recom-
mended oil. See
gines and
propane gas (LPG) engines.
For diesel engines that comply with
EPA07 or newer regulations, use CJ-4
engine oil with less than 1% sulfated ash.
For gasoline and LPG engines, use SAE
5W–30 oil that meets GM standard
GM6094M and has the American Petro-
leum Institute (API) symbol. Do not use
SAE 10W–40 or 20W–50.

Failure to use the recommended oil can result in
engine or aftertreatment component damage and
will void the warranty.

NOTE: The fluid must be warm to ensure an
accurate check. The fluid level rises as tempera-
ture increases.
