CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off,
check the oil level on the dipstick.
1. To get a true reading, the vehicle should be on a level spot.
After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to
drain back into the bottom of the engine.
2. Pull out the dipstick, and wipe it clean with a rag.
3. Reinsert the dipstick and push it in as far as it will go, or the
reading will not be correct.

Too full
4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil level on the end. If it
is between the full line (
5
) and the low line ( 4
), it is O.K.
If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low line,
add engine oil of the same type as already in the engine.
