Wait a few minutes after turning the
engine off before you check the oil.
Remove the dipstick (orange
handle).
Wipe off the dipstick with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
Insert it all the way back in its hole.
To close the hood, lift it up slightly to
remove the support rod from the
hole. Put the support rod back into
its holding clip. Lower the hood to
about a foot (30 cm) above the
fender, then let it drop. Make sure it
is securely latched.
Remove the dipstick again and
check the level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks.
If it is near or below the lower mark,
see
on page
.
Pull the support rod out of its clip
and insert the end into the
designated hole in the hood.
