Be sure battery clamp is properly tightened. Tighten to 12 ft-Ib (16 N·m). A loose clamp may allow the battery
to become damaged from vibration or jarring.
If battery appears weak, have it charged by a trained technician. The battery should never be left discharged
any longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).
ENGINE OIL – GASOLINE VEHICLE
Even though the low oil warning light on the dash should illuminate if oil level becomes low, engine oil level
should be checked monthly. Vehicle should be on a level surface when checking oil. Do not overfill with oil.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
1. Remove the oil level dipstick from the oil filler tube and wipe oil from dipstick (Figure 32) . See following
CAUTION.

CAUT ION
• Do not remove dipstick while engine is running.
2. Check oil by fully inserting the dipstick into the oil filler tube and immediately removing it.
3. If the oil level is at or below the low level mark on the dipstick gauge, add oil until the level is between low
and full levels (safe level).
4. Reinsert dipstick into the oil filler tube.
OIL VISCOSITY
Choose the viscosity according to the temperature as indicated by the oil viscosity chart (Figure 33) . See fol-
lowing NOTE.
NOTE: Using multi-grade oils (5W-20, 10W-30, and 10W-40) will increase oil consumption. Check oil level
more frequently when using them.
