CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
G030A01A-AAT
Engine oil is essential to the performance and
service of the engine. It is suggested that you
check the oil level at least once a week in normal
use and more often if you are on a trip or driving
in severe conditions.
G030C01A-AAT
To Check the Oil Level
Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to
the normal operating temperature and be sure
your car is parked on level ground. Turn the
engine off.
Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe it
off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw it
again. Then note the highest level the oil has
reached on the dipstick. It should be between
the upper ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range.
G030B02E-AAT
Recommended Oil
SH(API) or GF-I (ILSAC) and ABOVE multi-
grade and fuel efficient oil is recommended.
