Fig. 4 Cleaning the Top of the Engine
Fig. 5 Cleaning Entire Dipstick
Insert the dipstick fully into the dipstick tube and
remove. Examine the level of oil on the dipstick. Oil
should be at the FULL mark (Ref Fig. 6 on page H-3).
If
oil is required, remove oil fill cap and add oil slowly to
bring level to the FULL mark. Do not overfill.
Replace dipstick fully into the dipstick tube and firmly
replace the oil fill cap.
When adding oil between oil changes, do not mix brands and
viscosity grades of oil.
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before
operating the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and
fill cap will result in oil becoming contaminated and/or oil
being discharged into the engine compartment.

be changed per the Periodic Service Schedule in Sec-
tion A.

The oil should be changed with the engine warm. Park
the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake
and remove the key. Place a drain pan under the engine.
Wipe the oil fill cap clean with a cloth and remove the
cap (Ref Fig. 4 on page H- 3).

page H-3). Open the valve and allow the oil to drain
through the hole in the engine mounting plate. Close
valve once oil has drained.
