To check and refill engine oil
The engine oil used has a significant effect on the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom- mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
vals or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev-
el, which should always be within the
range indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl-inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine
damage. Be sure to use the specified en- gine oil and do not mix various types of
oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4
to 6.NOTEl 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
engine oil, refer to page 2-17.
