Shut down engine at operating

level with dipstick.

pack the car on flat ground. Shut
down the engine and wait for a few
minutes so that engine oil is
collected at the bottom of the
engine.
2. Pull out the dipstick, place a piece
of fabric at its end and wipe it clean.
3. Insert the dipstick again. You shall
insert it to the bottommost position
for accurate reading.
4. Pull out the dipstick, place a piece
of fabric at its end and check the
engine oil level.
NOTE
Do not drop engine oil on parts of
the car.
If the oil level is near the low oil line,
you shall add additional engine oil of
the same type in the engine.
Remove the engine oil fill cap, add a
small amount of engine oil and then
check the dipstick. You are
recommended to use funnel when
adding engine oil.
After adding engine oil, the oil level
shall be located between the low oil
line and high oil line on the dipstick as
shown in the figure above.
When the oil level is proper, install the
fill cap and tighten it manually.
NOTE
◆ Do not splash engine oil on
parts of the car.
◆ Do not add too much oil, or
engine may be damaged.
◆ Check the oil level with
dipstick after you finish adding
engine oil.
