qInspecting Engine Oil Level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on a level
surface.
2. Warm up the engine to normal
operating temperature.
3. Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes
for the oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and
reinsert it fully.

5. Pull it out again and examine the level.
It's OK between Low or MIN and Full
or MAX.
But if it's near or below Low or MIN,
add enough oil to bring the level to
Full or MAX.
CAUTION
Don't add engine oil over Full or
MAX. This may cause engine
damage.
6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is
positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.
The distance between Low or MIN and
Full or MAX on the dipstick represents
