Then, without shutting
off
the engine, follow these steps:
1.
Flip the handle up and then pull out the dipstick and
wipe it with
a
clean rag or paper towel.
3.
Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower
level. The fluid level
must
be in the
COLD
area for
a
cold check or in the
HOT
area or cross-hatched area
for a hot check.
4.
If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the
dipstick back in
all
the
way; then flip the handle
down
to
lock the dipstick in place.
2.
Push
it back
in
all the way, wait three seconds and
then pull
it
back out again.
