G030C01FC-DAT To Check the Oil Level Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and be sure your car 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. G030D01TB-DAT Adding Oil
HTB169
If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clock-
wise.
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1.2 litre of oil.
NOTE:
o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-
20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is preferred regardless of regionaloption and engine variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine
oil is not available, secondary rec-ommended engine oil for corre- sponding temperature range can be used.

Be very careful not to touch the radia- tor hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.
