CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
62X001e
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off,
check the oil level on the dipstick.
1. To get a correct reading, the vehicle should be on level
ground. After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for the
oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine.
2. Pull the dipstick out, hold a rag under the end and wipe it
clean.
3. Standing up on the left side of the vehicle, reinsert the
dipstick in the direction so that the “ENGINE OIL” on top should
be read correctly and push it in as far as it will go, or the reading
will not be correct.

4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil level while holding a
rag under the end. If it is between the full line (
5 ) and the
low line ( 4 ), it is O.K.

Be careful not to drop engine oil on the vehicle
components.

If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low line,
add engine oil of the same type as already in the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine oil a little at a time,
checking the dipstick. We recommend that you use a funnel
when adding oil. The approximate quantity of oil needed to
raise the level between low and full on the dipstick is indicated
as follows.
1.5 L (1.6 qt., 1.3 lmp. qt.)
For the engine oil capacity, see “Specifications” on page 402.
When the level reaches within the correct range, return the
filler cap and turn the cap clockwise until you hear a click.
NOTICE
 Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle
components.
 Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.
 Check the oil level on the dipstick once again after
adding the oil.
