Inspecting Engine Oil Level

1. Be sure the vehicle is on a level

surface.

2. Warm up the engine to normal

operating temperature.

3. Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes

for the oil to return to the oil pan.

4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and

reinsert it fully.

Full

Low

OK

5. Pull it out again and examine the level.

It's OK between MIN and MAX.
But if it's near or below MIN, add
enough oil to bring the level to MAX.

CAUTION

Don't add engine oil over MAX. This
may cause engine damage.

6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is

positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.

q

Changing Engine Oil and Filter

Change engine oil and filter according to
Scheduled Maintenance (page 8-3).

Please act responsibly

protect the

environment and take used oil to a
recycling facility. Ask your dealer or a
service station for information.

WARNING

Handling Used Engine Oil:
Continuous contact with used engine
oil is dangerous. It could cause skin
cancer. Always wash with soap and
water immediately after changing oil
and filter.

CAUTION

Remove any oil splatter from the
exhaust manifold, the exhaust pipe and
the shield. Oil left on these areas will
smoke when the engine is running.
