Engine oil and oil filter cartridge

The engine oil level should be checked before
each operation. In addition, the oil must be
changed and the oil filter cartridge replaced at
the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the console. (See page 8-9 for
console removal and installation proce-
dures.)
3. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine.
NOTE:
If the engine was started before checking the
oil level, be sure to warm up the engine suffi-
ciently, and then wait at least ten minutes until
the oil settles for an accurate reading.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap and wipe
off the dipstick with a clean rag.
5. Insert the dipstick in the oil filler hole
(without screwing it in), and then remove
it again to check the oil level.
NOTE:
_
The engine oil should be between the mini-
mum and maximum level marks.
