Oil Level Check

When checking oil levels, the vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine
at normal operating temperature. Components must be filled to the correct level.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
The best time to check oil level is while the engine is COLD (prior to starting at the
beginning of the work day, or after the vehicle has sat approximately 2 hours). At
normal operating temperature (engine oil temperature above 80°C [175°F]), oil level
can be checked 15 minutes after shut down.
For accurate oil level readings, the dipstick must be inserted fully into the dipstick
tube. The level must be close to the FULL line (at least between the LOW and FULL
lines) on the dipstick, but must NOT exceed the FULL line.
Note: SPECIAL TOOL 9998487 WILL BE NEEDED.
