systems.
Each
time
you re-fuel the truck, check
the following:
• Oil level
• Coolant level
• If the
Water
In Fuel
light
is
lit, drain water
from
the fuel/water separator
filter.
- Visually
check
for
leaks,
loose parts, frayed belts, etc.
Oil level - Check
Check
the engine oil level. Never operate the engine
with
the oil
level below the
"L"
(LOW) mark or above the "H*
(High)
mark.
The oil capacity between the low mark and the high mark on
the oil dipstick is 1.89 liters [2 U.S. quarts].
Cooling system - Check
Inspect
the cooling system and
hoses
for leaks or
signs
of
wear.

fins
for
excessive
