Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.
3. Reinsert the dipstick fully.
4. Remove the dipstick and read
the oil level as described
below.
Dilution
When a vehicle is frequently driven
on short trips, the engine often fails
to reach normal operating
temperatures:
.
The oil becomes diluted by fuel
and moisture that settles in the
oil pan.
.
This may raise the oil level
creating a false reading on the
engine oil dipstick.
For example, in a vehicle that has
accumulated 1,500 km of short
distance or intermittent city
operation and has consumed a
normal amount of oil, the level may
not have dropped from the upper
area/mark, due to dilution.
If this vehicle is driven for some
distance at highway speeds the
dilution elements evaporate,
resulting in a sudden drop in oil
level.
Adding Engine Oil
If the oil is below the cross-hatched
area at the tip of the dipstick and
the engine has been off for at least
15 minutes, add 1 litre of the
recommended oil and then recheck
the level.
See
and
.
Caution
Do not add too much oil. Oil
levels above or below the
acceptable operating range
shown on the dipstick are harmful
to the engine. If you find that you
have an oil level above the
operating range, i.e., the engine
has so much oil that the oil level
gets above the cross-hatched
area that shows the proper
operating range, the engine could
be damaged. You should drain
out the excess oil or limit driving
of the vehicle and seek a service
professional to remove the
excess amount of oil.
See
for the location of the engine
oil fill cap.
Add enough oil to put the level
somewhere in the correct operating
range.
