Oil Level Check
6. Clean the dipstick with a clean shop towel and reinstall it, screwing
it in completely.
7. Remove the dipstick and view the oil level.
NOTE: The oil level reading will be accurate for only one to three
minutes after turning off the engine. If the oil check isn’t
completed within three minutes, reinstall the dipstick. Restart
the engine and allow it to idle for no more than 20 seconds to
circulate the oil back into the tank.
A. Fill mark for oil changes (at specified coolant temperature)
B. Safe operating range
8. Maintain the oil level in the safe operating range (B), between the
upper and lower marks on the dipstick. If the level is low, add the
recommended oil in small increments, about 2 ounces (60 ml), and
recheck the level. If the level is high, remove 2 ounces (60 ml) and
recheck the level.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the oil tank. Engine damage may occur. Always
add oil in small increments and recheck the level to avoid
overfilling.
9. Recheck the oil level if oil was added or removed, making sure the
coolant temperature is within the specified range. If necessary,
continue adding or removing oil until the level is in the safe
operating range.
