On-Vehicle Inspection

1. After warming up the engine and then 5 minutes after the engine stop, oil level should be between the "L" and "F" marks on the dipstick. If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the "F" mark.

1. Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thinning.
2. If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
