OIL CHECK
Always check the oil when the engine is cold and on a level surface. If the
engine is hot when the oil is checked, the level will appear to be overfull.
Access the oil check dipstick

through the right rear wheel well. Access the oil
fill cap

by removing the cargo box. See the Service Access Panels section for
details.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle for two-to-three (2-3) minutes.
4. Stop the engine. Wait three (3) minutes before checking the oil level. This
allows the oil to settle to the bottom of the crankcase. Do not check the oil
level immediately after stopping the engine.
5. Remove the dipstick. Wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
6. Reinstall the dipstick completely. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
7. Remove the oil fill cap to add the recommended oil as needed. Maintain the
oil level between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. Do not
overfill.
8. Reinstall the fill cap. Reinstall the dipstick.
