of fuel to the tank. Add fuel until the fuel level is visible
1/2 inch (12 mm) below the filler neck. Leave room for
expansion.

The oil level is correct when the oil is visible on the dipstick
from the end to the full (upper) mark.
6. Do one of the following:
• If the oil level is correct, continue with step 7.
• If the oil level is low, add oil until the oil level is at the full
(upper) mark. For instructions, Add Oil to the Engine on
