Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer's
precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level ground in P (Park) with the park-
ing 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 oilto bring the level to F.
Use only the specified engine oil.
(refer to "Recommended Lubricants
and Capacities" in chapter 8).

Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain
plug, or dipstick before check-
ing 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.

*1: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade 5W-30 (API Latest (ILSAC Latest) or ACEA
A5 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.

2: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-20/API Latest (ILSAC Latest).

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity
engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance,
however, 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 temperature your vehicle will be
operated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended
oil viscosity from the chart.
