The oil level should be checked every
6000 miles (10000 km). The filler pipe with
graduated dipstickis to be found under
the hood just in front of the firewall.
Note. The dipstick has different graduation
marks for a warm and cold transmission.
When the oil level is being checked, the
car should be standing level. With the en-
gine idling in position "P", the level should
be between the upper and lower gradua-
tion marks on the dipstick. When topping-
up is necessary, use only Automatic Trans-

The dipstick should be wiped with a cloth,
paper, etc., but not with anything that
leaves fluff on the dipstick.
