Engine Oil: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION:
1. Park the vehicle on level ground, and turn off the engine. Allow the oil a few minutes to drain back into the oil pan so the dipstick will show the actual level.





2. Make certain that the oil level indicated on the dipstick is between the upper and lower marks.
3. If the level has dropped close to the lower mark, add oil until it reaches the upper mark.

CAUTION: Insert the dipstick carefully to avoid bending it.
