5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and confirm that
the oil level is between the marks (A)
and (B).
7. If the oil level is less than the level indi-
cated by the mark (A), remove the cap
and add enough oil to raise the level to
between the marks (A) and (B).
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4
to 6.
NOTE
l
To avoid engine damage, do not overfill by
exceeding the mark (B).
l
Be sure to use the specified engine oil and
do not mix various types of oil.
l
When the oil level is checked in step 6
above, check it on a low side of the dipstick
because it is different in appearance of oil
level in the two sides of the dipstick.
l
The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule.
l
For handling of used engine oils, refer to
2-05.
Recommended engine oil
Engine oil specification
Engine oil should meet all the following con-
ditions.
l
API SN classification
l
Calcium content ≤ 2,000 ppm
l
Base number ≥ 6.37 mg KOH/g

Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It
may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.
