NOTICE
 In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel specification of
"CD" or oils of a higher quality than
specified. In addition, do not use oils la-
beled "ENERGY CONSERVING II" or
higher.
 Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
To check the engine oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Check the engine oil level on a cold en-
gine.
TIP
If the engine was started before checking the
oil level, be sure to warm up the engine suffi-
ciently, and then wait at least 10 minutes until
the oil settles for an accurate reading.
3. Remove the passenger seat cushion.
(See page 4-15.)
4. Remove the rubber cover.
