Adding Engine Oil

1. Check the engine oil.

2. If fluid level is not within the normal

range, add only certified engine oil of
the preferred viscosity. Add engine oil
through the oil filler cap. Remove the
filler cap and use a funnel to pour oil
in the opening.

3. Recheck the oil level. Make sure

the oil level is not above the MAX
(2.5L) mark or the letter F in FULL
(3.0L/4.0L) on the dipstick.

4. Install the indicator and ensure it is

fully seated.

5. Fully install the engine oil filler cap by

turning the filler cap clockwise until
three clicks can be heard.

CAUTION

To avoid possible oil loss, DO NOT
operate the vehicle with the engine oil
level indicator and/or the engine oil
filler cap removed.

CAUTION

Overfilling with engine oil will dam-
age your engine.
