Engine Oil and Oil Filter

Checking the Engine Oil Level

1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal

operating temperature.

3. Turn the engine off and wait a few minutes for the

oil to return to the oil pan.

4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and re-insert it

fully.

5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The

level should be between F and L.

If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring the level to
F. Do not overfill.
