With the engine at operating tempera-
ture and turned off, check the oil level
on the dipstick.
1. To get a correct reading, the vehicle
should be on level ground. After turning
off the engine, wait a few minutes for
the oil to drain back into the bottom of
the engine.
2. Pull the dipstick out, hold a rag under
the end and wipe it clean.
3. Reinsert the dipstick—push it in as far
as it will go, or the reading will not be
correct.
4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil
level while holding a rag under the
end.
CAUTION
Be careful not to touch the hot ex-
haust manifold.
NOTICE
!
Be careful not to drop engine oil on
the vehicle components.
!
To avoid drops of the engine oil
falling when you pull out the engine
oil dipstick, make sure to hold a
rag under the dipstick.
If the oil level is below or only slightly
above the low level, add engine oil of
the same type as already in the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine
oil in small quantities at a time, checking
the dipstick. We recommend that you use
a funnel when adding oil.
The approximate quantity of oil needed to
raise the level between low and full on the
dipstick is indicated as follows:
2.4 L 4 − cylinder (2AZ − FE) engine
1.0 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 lmp. qt.)
3.3 L V6 (3MZ − FE) engine
1.5 L (1.6 qt., 1.3 lmp. qt.)
For the engine oil capacity, see “Service
specifications” on page 403 in Section 8.
When the level reaches within the correct
range, install the filler cap hand − tight.
