Engine Oil Level Inspection
- Position the vehicle on level ground.
- Warm up the engine.
- Stop the engine and allow at least 5 min before continuing.
- Remove the dipstick, wipe it cleanly, and reinstall it fully.
- Remove the dipstick and verify that the oil level is between the MAX and MIN marks on the dipstick.
- If the oil level is below or near the MIN mark, add engine oil. (See ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT .)
- If the oil level is above the MAX mark, penetration of fuel into the engine oil can be considered. Replace the engine oil. (See ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT .)
