dipstick
E Pull out dipstick 1.
E Wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth.
E Insert it into the dipstick tube as far as
the stop and pull it back out.

The oil level is correct if the oil is be-
tween lower min 3 and upper max 2
marks on the dipstick.
The difference in the quantity of oil be-
tween the upper and lower marks on
the dipstick is approximately 2 US qts
