Inspection of the Engine Oil Level
NOTE
It takes approximately 15 minutes for
all the oil to run into the sump when the
engine is ‘warm.’ If the level is checked
immediately after switching off the en
-
gine, the dipstick will show a low oil
level.
1. Make sure that the vehicle frame
rail is standing on a at and level
surface.
2. Make sure
that the vehicle is
horizontal, both lengthwise and
crosswise. Check this carefully
on a vehicle with air suspension.
Note that the engine may be
inclined up to 4° depending on the
vehicle model and wheelbase.
3. Twist
the dipstick handle to unlock
it, then pull the dipstick out of the
holder.
4. Wipe the
dipstick clean with a
lint-free cloth.
5. Place the
dipstick back into the
holder.
6. Pull the
dipstick out again and
check the oil level. The oil level
should always be between the 2
marks on the dipstick.
