3. Check engine oil -

b. Pull out the dipstick (Item 1,

Figure 4-2 Oil Level Check
c. If the engine oil level is below the add line, indicated by the lower line on the dipstick,
carefully add the proper amount of oil through the engine oil filler (Item 1,
Figure 4–3
).
The correct SAE viscosity grade of oil is determined by the minimum ambient
temperature during cold engine start-up, and the maximum ambient temperature during
operation. The engine is filled at the factory with Chevron Delo 400 Multigrade SAE
15W-40. The recommended ambient temperature range for this oil is 14° F (-10° C)
minimum to 122° F (50° C) maximum. Refer to the engine Operation and Maintenance
Manual for additional information on the proper selection of engine oil.
NOTE:
Make sure to reinstall and secure the oil filler cap.
