IMPORTANT Failure to check the oil lev-
el regularly could lead to serious engine
trouble due to insufficient oil.
REFILLING
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil
slowly through the filler hole to bring the
oil level to the upper limit on the dipstick.
Be careful not to overfill. Too much oil is
almost as bad as too little oil. After refill-
ing, start the engine and allow it to idle for
about a minute. Stop the engine, wait
about 5 minutes and check the oil level
again.
OIL LEVEL CHECK
It is important to keep the engine oil at the
correct level for proper lubrication of
your vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level
with the vehicle on a level surface. The oil
level indication may be inaccurate if the
vehicle is on a slope. The oil level should
be checked either before starting the en-
gine or at least 5 minutes after stopping
the engine.
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-
ored yellow for easy identification. Pull out
the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a clean
cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into
the engine, then remove it again. The oil
on the stick should be between the upper
and lower limits shown on the stick. If the
oil level indication is near the lower limit,
add enough oil to raise the level to the up-
per limit.
