A: INSPECTION
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Remove the oil level gauge and wipe away the
oil.
3) Reinsert the level gauge all the way. Be sure that
the level gauge is correctly inserted and properly
orientated.
4) Remove it again and note the reading. If the en-
gine oil level is below "L" line, add oil to bring the
level up to "F" line.
5) After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes
for the oil to return to the oil pan before checking
the level.
6) Just after driving or while the engine is warm, en-
gine oil level shows in the range between "F" line
and cutout portion. This is caused by thermal ex-
pansion of engine oil.
NOTE:
To prevent overfilling of engine oil, do not add oil
above "F" line when the engine is cold.
