CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply
the parking brake.
2. Start the engine and let it idle until it reaches
operating temperature.
3. Turn off the engine. Wait more than 10
minutes for the oil to drain back into
the oil pan.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Re-
insert it all the way.
5. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil
level. It should be between the H (High) and
L (Low) marks
᭺
B . This is the normal oper-
ating oil level range. If the oil level is below
the L (Low) mark
᭺
A , remove the oil filler cap
and pour recommended oil through the
opening. Do not overfill
᭺
C .
6. Recheck oil level with the dipstick.
It is normal to add some oil between oil
maintenance
intervals or during the
break-in period, depending on the severity
of operating conditions.
CAUTION
Oil level should be checked regularly. Op-
erating the engine with an insufficient
amount of oil can damage the engine, and
such damage is not covered by warranty.
