It is important to keep the engine oil at the
correct level for proper lubrica.tionof your vehicle's engine. Check the oil level with
the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle is on a slope. The oil level should be checked either before starting the engine
or warm up the engine to normal operating
temperature, then stop the engine and wait
at least 5 minutes (at least 10 minutes for Diesel engine model).
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col­ored yellow for easy identification. Pull out
the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into the
engine (for cap-type dipstick, screw in it fully), then remove it again. The oil on the
stick should be between the upper and lower limits shown on the stick. If the oil level indication is near the lower limit, add
enough oil to raise the level to the upper limit.
CAUTION
Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil.
CAUTION
(For Diesel Engine Model)
• Do not top up the oil over the upper limit. Too much oil could destroy
the engine.
• For cap-type dipstick, screw in it fully to check the engine oil. Other­wise, the stick does not show the correct level, and the engine oil
may be filled over the upper limit.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Refilling
EXAMPLE
81A147
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly through the filler hole to bring the oil level to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill. Too much oil is almost as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the
engine and allow it to idle for about a
minute. Stop the.engine, wait about 5 min­utes and check the oil level again.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTE: Do not check the fluid level if you have just driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, if you have driven in city traffic in hot weather, or if the vehicle has been pull­
ing a trailer. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about
30 minutes), or the fluid level indica­
tion will not be correct.
3} Park your vehicle on level ground. 4} Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in "P" (Park). Let it idle for two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check. . 5} With your foot on the brake pedal, move the gearshift lever through each range,
pausing for about three seconds in each range. Then move it back to the "P" (Park) position.
A. WARNING
Be sure to depress the brake pedal
when moving the gearshift lever, or the vehicle can move suddenly.
