ENGINE OIL

Checking engine oil level

Because it is normal to add some oil between oil changes, check your

engine oil level each time you stop for fuel. To check the engine oil level

consistently and accurately, the following procedure is recommended:

1. Have engine at normal operating temperature (at least into the

NORMAL range on the engine coolant temperature gauge).

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, then turn off the engine and open

the hood.

3. Allow at least 20 minutes after engine shutdown to assure that the oil

contained in the upper parts of the engine has returned to the oil pan.

4. Protecting yourself from engine

heat, pull out the dipstick, wipe it

clean and reinsert fully.

5. Read oil level on both sides of dipstick and use highest level (reading)

for the actual engine oil level.

6. Maintain the oil level between ADD and OPERATING RANGE on the

dipstick by adding oil as required. The distance from ADD to

OPERATING RANGE on the dipstick represents 1.9L (2 quarts). Do not

overfill. If the oil level exceeds OPERATING RANGE, oil consumption

may result.
