7-6 Maintenance

Checking and replenishment

Check engine oil level

Check the oil level regularly with the vehicle on flat, level

ground.
Refer to page 7-5 for dipstick and oil filler locations.
It is preferable to check the oil level after the vehicle has been

standing, that is, with the engine completely cold.
If the engine has been started do not check the oil level until the

engine has reached normal operating temperature. Stop the

engine and wait for a minimum of 5 minutes to allow the oil to

drain back into the sump.
Remove the dipstick (A) and wipe clean with a non-fluffy cloth.

Replace fully, then withdraw the dipstick. If the oil level is

above

the lower of the two dots on the dipstick then no additional oil

is required.
If the oil level reaches the lower of the two dots, remove the oil

filler cap (B) and add oil, to the quantity and specification

shown on the next page.
Refit the filler cap and hand tighten securely.
