Engine Oil Level - Check

Refill the engine with oil to the specified level. If the
oil level is higher than the maximum mark on the
level gauge, engine oil may blow out during opera-
tion. Also, the increase of oil temperature could
adversely affect engine components.
When adding engine oil, always use the same
engine oil.

more.
2. Pull out the oil level gauge and wipe oil off from the
oil level gauge using a clean waste cloth.
3. Insert the oil level gauge fully into the oil level
gauge guide and then pull it out again.
4. The oil level should be between the maximum and
minimum marks on the oil level gauge. If the engine
oil level is higher than the high mark on the oil level
gauge, drain the oil. If the oil level is low, add the
specified engine oil.
For draining engine oil, refer to
