At Each Stop for Fuel
• Check the engine oil level about five minutes after a
fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level
while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the

the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if
required.
Once a Month

damage.

master cylinder and transaxle, and add as needed.

operation.
• Check rubber seals on each side of the radiator for
proper fit.

nents.
