Checking the engine oil
Refer to the scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate
intervals for checking the engine oil.
1. Make sure the vehicle is at normal operating temperature and parked
on level ground.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 15 minutes for the oil to drain into the
oil pan.
3. Set the parking brake and ensure the gearshift is securely latched in
1st gear.
4. Open the hood, then locate and carefully remove the engine oil level
dipstick.
5. Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the dipstick fully, then remove it again.
• If the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks, the oil level is

acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.

• If the oil level is below the MIN

mark, add enough engine oil to
raise the level within the MIN and
MAX range. Refer to Adding
engine oil
in this chapter.

Oil levels above MAX mark

may cause engine damage. If
the engine is overfilled, some oil
must be removed from the engine by an authorized dealer.
