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.
The distance between L and F on the
dipstick represents 0.85 US qt. (0.7 liter).
Use only the specified engine oil.
