The engine oil that is used has a significant effect on the
engine’s performance, service life and startability. Ensure oil of
the recommended quality and appropriate viscosity is used.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal
operation. Therefore, it is important to check the oil level at
regular intervals and before starting a long trip.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level, which should
always be within the specified range.
7. If the oil level is below the specified limit, remove the cap
located on the cylinder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified range. Do not over-
fill to avoid engine damage. Ensure you use the specified
engine oil and do not mix various types of oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating steps 4 to 6.
NOTE
●
For checking the oil level on 3000 models, pull the dip-
stick straight out and control the oil level by inspecting the
upper surface of the dipstick.
●
Engine oil consumption is greatly influenced by the vehi-
cle’s laden weight, engine speed, etc. It may reach 1.0
L/1,000 km depending on the driving style.
●
The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the vehicle is
subjected to severe conditions, requiring earlier oil
replacement.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule.
