Topping Up the Engine Oil
If checking the engine oil just after stopping
the engine, wait 15 minutes for the oil to
drain back into the oil pan before checking
the fluid level.
This procedure should be followed when oil
level is low and more oil needs to be
added.
1. Top up with oil, if necessary, via the
filler opening. Use the correct
grade in the correct quantity.
2. After topping up, wait one minute
and check the oil level again.
