ENGINE OIL
Checking the Engine Oil Level
Engine oil is used for lubricating,
cooling, and operating various
hydraulic components in the engine.
Engine oil consumption while driving
is normal, and it is necessary to
check and refill the engine oil regu-
larly. Also, check and refill the oil
level within the recommended main-
tenance schedule to prevent deterio-
ration of oil performance. Check the
engine oil following the below proce-
dure.
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 and the wheels
blocked.
3. Turn the engine on and warm the
engine up until the coolant tem-
perature reaches a constant nor-
mal temperature.
4. Turn the engine off, remove the oil
filler cap and pull the dipstick out.
Wait for 15 minutes for the oil to
return to the oil pan.
5. Wipe the dipstick clean and re-
insert it fully.6. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the level.7. If the oil level is below L, add
enough oil to 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.

grade SAE 0W30 API SN PLUS / SP or ILSAC GF-6.
0W-30
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.
An engine oil displaying this API Certification Mark conforms to the
international Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). It
is recommended to only use engine oils that uphold this API
Certification Mark.
