Oil Level Check
When checking oil levels, the vehicle must be
parked on level ground. Components must be
filled to the correct level. DO NOT OVERFILL.
The best time to check oil level is while the engine
is COLD (prior to starting at the beginning of the
work day, or after the vehicle has sat
approximately 2 hours). At normal operating
temperature (engine oil temperature above 80°C
[175°F]), oil level can be checked 15 minutes
after shut down.
Failure to wait a sufficient amount of time (2 hours
if engine oil temperature is below 80°C [175°F] or
15 minutes if oil temperature is above 80°C
[175°F]) will result in an inaccurate dipstick
reading.
For accurate oil level readings, the dipstick must
be inserted fully into the dipstick tube. The level
must be close to the FULL line (at least between
the LOW and FULL lines) on the dipstick, but
must NOT exceed the FULL line.
