ADVICE
• If the oil level is higher than the
"MIN" mark, there is a sufficient
amount of oil. In this case, the
engine oil supply does not need to
be replenished.

Perform the engine oil level check on a
flat surface while the engine is cold before
starting it. If the engine has already been
started, stop it after it has sufficiently
warmed and wait 30 minutes or more
before performing.
Also, check if there are any oil leaks and
the dirt level of the engine oil.
1. Remove the oil dipstick and wipe off
any oil on the oil dipstick.
2. Reinsert the oil dipstick fully and then
gently remove it.
3. Check the front and back of the oil
dipstick. If the highest position is
between the "MIN" and "Inspection
MAX" marks (range 1), the oil is at the
correct level.
- If the oil level is below the "MIN"
mark, add oil by following the
procedures detailed on the following
pages.
- If the oil level is beyond the
"Inspection MAX" mark, have
engine oil replacement performed
at your Isuzu Dealer. If you perform
replacement yourself, please
replace the oil by following the
procedures detailed on the following
pages.
