Engine Oil Level
Warning: Engine oil or components may be hot and could
cause severe burns.
Caution: Running the engine with engine oil below the
lower mark or above the upper mark can cause serious
engine damage.
Caution: This vehicle's warranty may be invalidated if
damage is caused by the use of incorrect engine oil. Low
quality or obsolete oils do NOT give the protection required
by modern, high performance engines.
Caution: Failure to use engine oil that meets the required
specification can cause excessive engine wear, a build up of
sludge and deposits, and increased pollution. It could also
lead to engine failure (Refer to 'Fluid Specifications', page
12.14).
