Checking the engine oil level

temperature, turn it off and check the oil
level with a dipstick.
1. To get a correct reading, the vehicle

off the engine, wait a few minutes for the
oil to drain back into the bottom of the
engine.
2. Pull the oil dip rod out, hold a rag under

3. Reinsert the oil dip rod, and push it in as
far as it will go, or the reading will not be
correct.
4. Pull the oil dip rod out and look at the oil
level while placing a rag at the end.
NOTICE
Be careful not to drop the engine oil on
vehicle components.
If the oil level goes below or slightly above
the low level, fill the engine oil of the same
type into the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add the engine
oil in small quantities at a
time, and check the oil dip rod. We

take reference from the interval between the
low and high level on the oil dip rod.
