To check the engine oil level1. P\face the vehic\fe on a \feve\f surface an\b ho\f\b it in an upright position.
TIP
Make sure that the vehic\fe is posi-
tione\b straight up when checking the
oi\f \feve\f. A s\fight ti\ft to the si\be can re-

Tightening torque:Spark p\fug:12.5 Nm (1.25 m·kg\of, 9.0 ft·\fbf)
TIP
If a torque wrench is not avai\fab\fe
when insta\f\fing a spark p\fug, a goo\b
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4-
1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the
spark p\fug shou\f\b be tightene\b to the
specifie\b torque as s\ooon as possib\fe.
