Engine oil and oil filter
Check the engine oil level before each opera-
tion. In addition, change the oil and replace
the filter at the intervals specified in the gen-
eral maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove panel C (page 8-10).
3. Start the engine and warm it up to a nor-
mal operating temperature (the engine oil
temperature should reach 60 °C [140 °F]),
then let the engine idle for a minimum of
ten seconds before turning the engine off.
TIP
If the engine is cold, take the vehicle for a
short drive or let it idle for approximately ten
minutes before checking the engine oil level.
4. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap and
wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
5. Insert the dipstick back into the oil tank
(without screwing it in), and then remove
it again to check the oil level.
TIP
The engine oil level should be between the tip
of the dipstick and the maximum level mark.
