With the engine at operating tempera-
ture and turned off, check the oil level
on the dipstick.
1. To get a true reading, the vehicle
should be on a level spot. After turning
off the engine, wait a few minutes for
the oil to drain back into the bottom of
the engine.
2. Pull out the dipstick, and wipe it clean
with a rag.

3. Standing up on the left side of the
vehicle, reinsert the dipstick in the di-
rection so that the "ENGINE OIL" on
top should be read correctly and push
it in as far as it will go, or the reading
will not be correct.
