CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

When checking engine oil, engine

coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid,

always be sure to clean the area

around any filler plug, drain plug, or

dipstick before checking or draining

any lubricant or fluid. This is espe-

cially important in dusty or sandy

areas and when the vehicle is used

on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug

and dipstick areas will prevent dirt

and grit from entering the engine and
