the engine level), and remove the engine cover.
Start the engine, let it warm up to the normal operating
temperature, and stop the engine.
Remove the dipstick [1] and wipe it clean with a shop
towel.
Insert the dipstick into the oil level pipe securely, and
then remove it and check the oil level.
Check whether the oil is dirty or has a milky color.
If the oil level is low, remove the oil filler cap [1], and
add the recommended oil to bring the oil level up to the
upper level mark on the dipstick.

Install the oil filler cap securely.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean again.
