4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and
re-insert it fully.
WARNING -
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may be
hot enough to burn you.

the level. The level should be between
F and L.

CAUTION
Do not overfill the engine oil. It may
damage the engine.
CAUTION -
Diesel engine
Overfilling the engine oil may cause
severe dieseling due to churning
effect. It may lead to engine damage
accompanied with abrupt engine
speed increment, combustion noise
and white smoke emission.
Radiator hose
If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring
the level to F. Do not overfill.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil from
being spilled on engine components.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capaci-
ties" in section 8.)
