Check the engine oil level at each fuel stop.

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and stop the engine.

2. Pull out the level gauge, wipe it clean, and insert it again.

3. Be sure the level gauge is correctly inserted until it stops with the graphic symbol on its top
appearing as shown in the illustration.

4. Pull out the level gauge again and check the oil level on it. If it is below the low level (L), add oil to bring the level up to the full level (F).

CAUTION

• Use only engine oil with the recommended grade and viscosity.

• Be careful not to spill engine oil when adding it. If oil touches the exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or a fire. If engine oil gets on the exhaust pipe, be sure to wipe it off.

If you check the oil level just after stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan before checking the level.

To prevent overfilling the engine oil, do not add any additional oil above the full level when the engine is cold.
