cle performance deterioration and
damage to critical parts in the fuel
system and engine components.
CAUTION:
Never mix oil with fuel.

Fuel Level
WARNING
Always stop engine before refu-
eling. Open cap slowly. If a dif-
ferential pressure condition is no-
ticed (whistling sound heard when
loosening fuel tank cap) have ve-
hicle inspected and/or repaired

flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Never use an
open flame to check fuel level.
Never smoke or allow flame or
spark in vicinity. Always work in
a well-ventilated area. Never top
up the fuel tank before placing the
vehicle in a warm area. As tem-
perature increases, fuel expands

engine and transmission.
Recommended Oil

bel on the oil container, it must contain
at least one of the above standards.
