!
Before checking the oil, warm up the
engine to normal operating tempera- ture and be sure your vehicle is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off.
Wait about five minutes, then remove
the dipstick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw it again. Then note the highest level the oil has reached on the dipstick. It should be between the upper (F) and lower (L) range.
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.
