5. Pull it out again and examine the level.
It’s OK between L and F.
But if it’s near at or below L, add
enough oil to bring the level to F.
& CAUTION
Don’t add engine oil over F. This may
cause engine damage.
6. Make sure the O-ring is positioned
properly before reinserting the
dipstick.
The distance between L and F on the
dipstick represents the following:
L (US qt, Imp qt) 1.0 (1.06, 0.88)

service station for information.
