2. If the engine oil level is not within the normal range, add 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

MAX or FULL mark on the engine oil level indicator (dipstick).

5. Fully install the engine oil filler cap by turning the filler cap

clockwise 1/4 of a turn until it is seated.

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

trademark.

Use SAE 5W-20 motor oil certified for gasoline engines by the American
Petroleum Institute (API). An oil with this trademark symbol conforms
to the current engine and emission system protection standards and fuel
economy requirements of the International Lubricant Standardization and
Approval Committee (ILSAC), comprised of U.S. and Japanese

requirements for your vehicle’s engine.
