CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

  1. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
  2. Check the oil level before starting the engine, or switch the engine off after warm up and wait 15 minutes for the oil to drain into the oil pan.Note
    Checking the oil level too soon could result in an inaccurate reading.
  3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth.
  4. Reinstall the dipstick and make sure it is fully seated.
  5. Remove the dipstick again to check the oil levelNote
    Read both sides of the dipstick and use the lowest oil level as the correct reading.

    Note
    If the oil level is between the maximum and minimum marks, the oil level is acceptable. Do not add oil.

  6. If the oil level is at the minimum mark, immediately add oil.
  7. Reinstall the dipstick. Make sure it is fully seated.

Note
The oil consumption of new engines reaches its normal level after approximately 3,000 mi (5,000 km).

Note
Increases in oil level can occur from frequent short trips that do not allow the engine to get to operating temperature, as well as frequent idling or low speed driving for long periods of time.

Note
If oil levels are continuously noted above the maximum mark, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

ADDING ENGINE OIL
