regular intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best time to

check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a

fully warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will

improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Maintain

the oil level in the “SAFE” range. Adding 1.0 qt (1.0 L) of

oil when the reading is at the bottom of the “SAFE” range

will result in an oil level at the top of the “SAFE” range

on these engines.

CAUTION!

Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or
loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine.

Change Engine Oil

time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.

NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change

intervals exceed 8,000 miles (13 000 km) or six months,
whichever occurs first.
