utes, and then turn it off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil settles.

the dipstick with a clean rag.
5. Insert the dipstick in the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it again to
check the oil level.NOTE:_ The engine oil should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. _
