To Check the Oil Level
If the oil level is below the specified limit, remove the cap located on the cylinder head cover and add enoughoil to raise the level to within the specified range. Be sure to use the specified engine oil and do not mixvarious types of oil. Also, avoid mix- ing different makes of oil together if possible. After adding oil, close thecap securely.
It is important to check the oil level at
regular intervals or before starting a long trip.
This check must be made with the
engine warm but not running. Park the vehicle on a level surface, stopthe engine, and then wait a few mo- ments to allow the engine oil in circu- lation to return to the oil pan to ensureaccurate measurement. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Reinsert the dipstick and read the oillevel, which should always be within the range indicated in the figure. WARNING:
Be careful not to touch the hot exhaust manifold.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oilusing by a funnel. Do not overfillnot to damage engine. NOTE: Check the oil level on the dipstick once again after adding the oil.
