4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean,
and re-insert it fully.
䳜 Do not overfill the engine oil. It
may damage the engine.
䳜 Do not spill engine oil, when add
-
ing or changing engine oil. If you
drop the engine oil on the engine
room, wipe it off immediately.
䳜 When you wipe the oil level gauge,
you should wipe it with a clean
cloth. When mixed with debris, it
can cause engine damage.
䳜 The brake fluid constantly
absorbs moisture from the air.
This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point
is too low, vapor pockets may
form in the brake system when
the brakes are applied hard.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the level.
6. The level should be between F and
L. If it is near or at L, add enough
oil to bring the level to F.
