Check the engine oil level with the engine oil dipstick.
1. Place the vehicle on level ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes
at idling speed.
Stop the engine and wait about three minutes.
3. Remove the oil filler plug.

oil filler plug.
Wipe the oil from the dipstick with a clean rag.
4. Reinsert the dipstick until the threads touch the filler
neck, but do not screw the plug in.
5. Draw out the dipstick and check the oil level.
The level found on the dipstick should be between
“L” (Low) and “F” (Full) line.
6. If the oil level is below the “L” line, add fresh oil from
the filler hole until the oil level reaches to “F” line.
If the level is above the “F” line, drain oil to “F” line.
7. Reinstall the drain plug and engine oil filler plug.
Tighten them securely.
