MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil
Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 75. Always use the recommended
engine oil.
Oil Check
The oil dipstick and fill tube is
located on the engine, behind the
passenger seat.
1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. Place the transmission in
PARK. Apply the brakes.
3. Start the engine. Allow it to idle
for 20-30 seconds. Stop the
engine.
4. Remove both seats. Remove the
rear service panel. See page 35.
5. Lift the lever lock to remove the
dipstick. Wipe it dry with a clean
cloth.
6. Reinstall the dipstick completely,
but do not lock it. The dipstick
must be inserted completely in to
keep the angle and depth of the
stick consistent.
7. Remove the dipstick and check the
oil level. Maintain the oil level in
the safe range. Do not overfill.
NOTE: Due to the dipstick entry angle
into the crankcase, the oil level
will read higher on the bottom
side of the dipstick. Always read
the level on the upper surface of
the dipstick.
8. Reinstall the dipstick. Seat the
lever lock.
