1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring
or thinning.
If the quality is poor, replace the oil.
Use API grade SG multigrade, fuel± efficient and recom-
mended viscosity oil.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the ºLº and ºFº marks on the
dipstick.
If low, check for the leakage and add oil up to ºFº mark
