CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

With the engine at operating temperature and turned off,

check the oil level on the dipstick.

1. To get a correct reading, the vehicle should be on 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

3. Reinsert the dipstick 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 low level mark ( 4 ) and

the full level mark ( 5 ), it is O.K.

Be careful not to drop engine oil on the vehicle
