dipstick. Insert the dipstick fully and check the oil

b) If the remaining engine oil level is low, fill the oil pan with the specified engine oil to the specified
level through the filler port.
[NOTICE]
The engine oil should not be overfilled to exceed the upper limit line. If engine oil is overfilled, the
engine may intake the engine oil in the combustion chamber during the operation, and white smoke, oil
hummer or urgent rotation may occur, because the blowby gas is reduced in the suction air flow.
