5) Fill engine oil through filler pipe up to upper
point on level gauge. Make sure that vehicle is
placed level when checking oil level. Use engine oil
of proper quality and viscosity, selected in accor-
dance with the table in figure.
Engine oil amount for preparation:
2.5 L model
Approx. 4.0 (4.2 US qt, 3.5 Imp qt)
3.0 L model
Approx. 5.5 (5.8 US qt, 4.8 Imp qt)
The proper viscosity helps vehicle get good cold
and hot starting by reducing viscous friction and
thus increasing cranking speed.
