Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’sprecautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake set. If possible, block the
wheels.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
4. Turn the engine off and wait about five minutes for the oil to return to
the oil pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully.
6. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should
be between F and L. 7. If it is near or at L, add enough oil
to bring the level to F.
To prevent damage to your
engine:
Do not overfill with engine oil. Add oil in small quantities and
recheck level to ensure engine
is not overfilled.
Do not spill engine oil when adding or changing engine oil.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil
from being spilled on engine
components. Wipe off spilled oil
immediately.

Recommended SAE Viscosity Number
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or
dipstick before checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially
important in dusty or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on
unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that could be
damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weath-
er operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine
oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, howev-
er, higher viscosity engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot
weather. Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could
result in engine damage. When choosing an oil, consider the range of temper-
ature your vehicle will be operated in before the next oil change. Proceed to
select the recommended oil viscosity from the chart.
NOTICE
*1: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oilof a viscosity grade SAE 5W-20 (API SM / ILSAC GF-4
(or above)). However, if the engine oil is not available in your
country, select the proper engine oil using the engine oil viscos-
ity chart.
