4. Remove the dipstick and check
the fluid level. It should be
between the upper and lower

mark, add fluid into the filler hole
to bring it to the level between the
upper and lower marks.
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully
so you do not spill any. Clean up
any spills immediately; it could
damage components in the engine
compartment.
