Oil Level Check
It is important to keep the engine oil at
the correct level for proper lubrication of
your vehicle's engine. Check the oil level
with the vehicle on a level surface. The
oil level indication may be inaccurate if
the vehicle is on a slope. The oil level
should be checked either before starting
the engine or at least two or three
minutes after stopping the engine.

Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with
a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the
way into the engine, then remove it again.
The oil on the stick should be between
the upper and lower limits shown on the
stick. If the oil level indication is near the
lower limit, add enough oil to raise the
level to the upper limit.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Refilling
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil
slowly through the filler hole to bring the
oil level to the upper limit on the dipstick.
Be careful not to overfill. Too much oil is
almost as bad as too little oil. After refill-
ing, start the engine and allow it to idle
for about a minute. Stop the engine, wait
for two or three minutes and check the
oil level again.
