Engine Oil and Filter
Checking
Check the engine oil a couple of minutes after shutting the
engine off, with the car parked on level ground. Remove the
dipstick and wipe it clean. Re-insert it all the way down, then
pull it out and read the level. The level should be between the
upper and lower marks.
Adding
If the level has dropped close to the lower mark, add oil until it
is even with the upper mark.
1.Turn the oil filler cap counterclockwise to remove. Add oil,
then check the level again. Do not overfill.
2. Reinstall the cap and twist clockwise until it stops.
CAUTION:
Be sure the oil filler cap is correctly replaced before starting
the engine.
Engine oil is a major factor affecting the performance and
service life of the engine, you should use only a premium
quality detergent oil labeled SG grade.

when used together with SG.

economy.
