Maintenance
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s
precautions.
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
temperature.
4. Turn the engine off, remove the oil
filler cap and pull the dipstick out.
Wait for 15 minutes for the oil to
return to the oil pan.
5. Wipe the dipstick clean and re-
insert it fully.
6. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the level. The level should
be in the C range.
7. If the level is in the D range, add
enough engine oil to bring the level
up the range.
Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants
and capacities” in chapter 8.)
To prevent damage to your
engine:
• Do not spill engine oil when
adding or changing engine oil.
Wipe off spilled oil immediately.
• The engine oil consumption may
increase while you break in a
new vehicle and it will be stabi-
lized after driving 6,000 km
(4,000 miles).
• The engine oil consumption can
be affected by driving habits, cli-
mate conditions, traffic condi-
tions, oil quality, etc. Therefore, it
is recommended that you
inspect the engine oil level regu-
larly and refill it if necessary.
