hydraulic components in the engine. 
Engine oil consumption while driving 
is normal, and it is necessary to check

check and refill the oil level within 
the recommended maintenance 
schedule to prevent deterioration of oil 
performance.

precautions.
2.  Be sure the vehicle is on the level 
ground in P (Park) with the parking 
brake set and the wheels blocked.

the engine up until the coolant 
temperature reaches a constant 
normal temperature.

filler cap and pull the dipstick out. 
Wait for 15 minutes for the oil to return 
to the oil pan.
