When  the engine compartment  is cool,  unscrew  the  cap 
and wipe  the dipstick  with  a clean rag. Replace  the cap 
and  completely  tighten  it. Then remove  the cap  again 
and 
look at the  fluid  level  on  the  dipstick. 
The  level  should  be  between  the 
ADD and FULL marks. 
For the 
LN2 engine,  the  fluid  level  should  be at  the C 
mark.  If necessary,  add  only  enough fluid to bring  the 
level  up 
to the  proper  range. 
What to Use 
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine  what 
kind  of fluid 
to use.  See “Recommended  Fluids and 
Lubricants”  in  the  Index.  Always use the proper  fluid. 
Failure to 
use the  proper  fluid can cause leaks  and 
damage  hoses  and  seals. 
Windshield  Washer Fluid 
What to Use 
When you need  windshield  washer  fluid, be sure to  read 
the manufacturer’s  instructions before  use. If  you  will  be 
operating your  vehicle 
in an area where  the temperature 
may  fall below  freezing,  use  a fluid that  has  sufficient 
protection  against freezing. 
When  to  Check  Power  Steering  Fluid 
It is not  necessary to regularly check power  steering  fluid 
unless  you  suspect  there  is  a  leak 
in the  system  or you  hear 
an  unusual  noise. 
A fluid loss in  this  system  could  indicate 
a  problem.  Have 
the system  inspected  and  repaired.
