Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s pre-
cautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level
ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake set. If possible, block the
wheels.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the
engine to reach normal operating tem-
perature.
4. Turn the engine off and wait about five
minutes for the oil to return to the oil
pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and
re-insert it fully.
6. Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level. The level should be between
F and L.
7. If it is near or at L, add enough oil to
bring the level to F.
To prevent damage to your engine:
• Do not overfill with engine oil. Add
oil in small quantities and recheck
level to ensure engine is not over-
filled.
• Do not spill engine oil when adding
or changing engine oil. Use a funnel
to help prevent oil from being
spilled on engine components. Wipe
off spilled oil immediately.
