246 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Checking Oil Level
To ensure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil must be
maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at regular
intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best time to check the
engine oil level is about five minutes after a fully warmed up
engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will
improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.
There are four possible dipstick types,
• Crosshatched zone.
• Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.
• Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at the low end of therange and MAX at the high end of the range.
• Crosshatched zone marked with dimples at the MIN and the MAX ends of the range. NOTE:
Always maintain the oil level within the crosshatch mark
-
ings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1.0 liters) of oil when the reading is at the
low end of the dipstick range will raise the oil level to the
high end of the range marking.
Adding Washer Fluid

The windshield and rear window washers share the same fluid
reservoir. The fluid reservoir is located in the front of the engine
compartment. Be sure to check the fluid level in the reservoir at
regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer
solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and operate the system for a
few seconds to flush out the residual water.

When refilling the washer fluid reservoir, take some washer
fluid and apply it to a cloth or towel and wipe clean the
wiper blades, this will help blade performance. CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause
aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your
engine.
