To ensure proper engine lubrication, the engine
oil must be maintained at the correct level.
Check the oil level at regular intervals, such as
every fuel stop. The best time to check the
engine oil level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed up engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level
readings.
There are four possible dipstick types:

Crosshatched zone.

Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.

Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at the
low end of the range and MAX at the high end
of the range.

Crosshatched zone marked with dimples at
the MIN and the MAX ends of the range.
NOTE:
Always maintain the oil level within the cross-
hatch markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1 liter) of oil when the reading is
at the low end of the dipstick range will raise the
oil level to the high end of the range marking.
WARNING!

Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable vapors
may be present, with the risk of fire.

Be very careful when working in the engine
compartment when the engine is hot: you
may get burned. Do not get too close to the
radiator cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other loose
clothing might be pulled by moving parts.
CAUTION!

Be careful not to confuse the various types
of fluids while topping up: they are not
compatible with each other! Topping up
with an unsuitable fluid could severely
damage your car.

The oil level must never exceed the MAX mark.

Always top up using engine oil of the same
specifications as that already in the engine.

If the engine oil is being topped up, wait for
the engine to cool down before loosening
the filler cap, particularly for vehicles with
aluminum cap (if equipped). WARNING: risk
of burns!

Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will
cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This
could damage your engine.
