8. Refill engine with recommended oil through the oil filler opening, then install
the oil filler cap securely.
For additional information on drain and
refill capacity, refer to "Recommended
fluids/lubricants and capacities" in the "9.
Maintenance and Schedules" section.
The drain and refill capacity depends on
the oil temperature and drain time. Use
these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine
when the proper amount of oil is in the
engine.
9. Start the engine. Check for leakage around the drain plug and oil filter. Correct
as required.
10. Turn the engine off and wait more than 10 minutes. Check the oil level with the
