Adding Oil
Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe it
off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw it
again. Then note the highest level the oil has
reached on the dipstick. It should be between
the upper ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range.
If the oil level is close to or below the "LOW"
mark, add oil until it reaches the "FULL" mark.
To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not
overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.
The distance between the "FULL" and "LOW"
marks is equal to about 1 quart of oil.

CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER
The engine oil and filter should be changed at
those intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven
in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set the
parking brake. Start the engine and let it
warm up until the needle on the coolant
temperature gauge moves above the lowest
mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear
selector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse
gear (manual transaxle). Set the parking
brake.
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil
filler cap.
