Adding engine oil

only certified engine oil of the recommended viscosity. Remove the
engine oil filler cap and use a funnel to pour the engine oil into the
opening.

3. Recheck the engine oil level. Make sure the oil level is not above the
normal operating range on the engine oil level dipstick.

4. Install the dipstick and ensure it is fully seated.

5. Fully install the engine oil filler cap by turning the filler cap clockwise
until it stops.

To avoid possible oil loss, DO NOT operate the vehicle with the
