Engine Oil Level Inspection

  1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
  2. Warm up the engine.
  3. Stop the engine and allow at least 5 min  before continuing.
  4. Remove the dipstick, wipe it cleanly, and reinstall it fully.
  5. Remove the dipstick and verify that the oil level is between the F and L marks on the dipstick.
    • If the oil level is below or near the L mark, add engine oil. (See ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT .)
    • If the oil level is above the F mark, penetration of fuel into the engine oil can be considered. Replace the engine oil. (See ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT .)
  6. Insert the oil level gauge completely until it attaches to the cylinder head cover.
