Retractable Underhood Light
(OPTION)
To Use:
Pull the light away from the base and
attach it to the area
of the vehicle where
you
may be working. A magnet on the
back will hold it in place.
To Retract:
1. Turn the crank clockwise.
2. Slide the light back into its base.
Engine Oil
It’s a good idea to check your engine oil
level every time you get fuel. In order to
get
an accurate reading, the oil must be
warm and the vehicle must be
on level
ground.
Turn off the engine and give the oil a
few minutes to drain back into the oil
pan. If you don’t, the oil dipstick might
not show the actual level.
To Check Engine Oil:
Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a
paper towel or cloth, then push it back
in all the way. Remove it again, keeping
the tip lower.

When to Add Oil:
I If the oil is at or below the A OD line,
then you’ll need to add some oil. But
you must use the right
kind. This
section explains what kind
of oil to use.
For crankcase capacity, see the
Index
under Capacities and Specifications.
Just fill it enough to put the level
somewhere in the proper operating
range. Push the dipstick all the way
back
in when you’re through.
