To Check the Oil Level
Before checking the oil, warm up the engine
to the normal operating temperature and
be sure your car is parked on level ground.
Turn the engine off.
Wait 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.
!
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radiator
hose when checking the engine oil as it
may be hot enough to burn you.
