Checking the engine oil level

Engine oil is used for lubricating, cooling,
and operating various hydraulic
components in the engine. Engine oil
consumption whilst driving is normal, and
it is necessary to check and refill the
engine oil regularly. Also, check and refill
the oil level within the recommended
maintenance schedule to prevent
deterioration of oil performance.
Check the engine oil following the below
procedure.
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer's
precautions.
2. Make sure the vehicle is on the level
ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake applied.
3. Turn on the engine and warm the
engine up until the coolant
temperature reaches a constant normal
temperature.
4. Turn off the engine, remove the oil filler
cap and pull the dipstick out. Wait for 15
minutes for the oil to return to the oil
pan.
5. Wipe the dipstick clean and re-insert it
fully.
6.Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level. The level should be between F
(Full) and L (Low).
