CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL

Engine oil is essential to the perfor-
mance and service of the engine. It is
suggested that you check the oil level
at least once a week in normal use
and more often if you are on a trip or
driving in severe conditions.

To Check the Oil Level
Before checking the oil, warm up the
engine to the normal operating tem-
perature and be sure your car is
parked on level ground. Turn the en-
gine off.
Wait a minute, then remove the dip-
stick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the
dipstick and withdraw it again. Then

note the highest level the oil has
reached on the dipstick. It should be
between the upper ("FULL") and lower
("LOW") range.

Adding Oil
HXG094J HXG722J
If the oil level is close to or below the
"L" mark, add oil until it reaches the
"F" mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning
it counterclockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again.
Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clock-
wise.
The distance between the "F" and "L"
marks is equal to about 1 liter of oil.
