8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9.
Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4 to 6. CAUTION
l
In
diesel-powered vehicles, when burning
away and removing soot accumulated in
the DPF, fuel can mix with the engine oil
and an increase in the engine oil level
may occur. This does not indicate an ab-
normality.
However, if the engine oil level is at or
over the “X” mark (B) on the engine oil
dipstick (A), change the engine oil. NOTE
l The

engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule.
l For information on how to dispose of used en-
gine oil, refer to page 05. Recommended engine oil viscosity
Petrol-powered vehicles
l
Select
engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric temper-
ature.
SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30 and 5W-40 en-
gine oils can only be used if they meet
ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API SM
(or higher) specifications.
l Use engine oil conforming to the following
classification:
• API classification: “For service SM” (orhigher)
• ILSAC certificated oil
• ACEA classification: “For service A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4 or
A5/B5” NOTE
l Use

of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It
may result in failure of the mechanical assem-
bly.
Diesel-powered vehicles l
Select
engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric temper-
ature.
l Use engine oil conforming to the following
