FLUID LEVEL VERIFICATION
Periodic inspection of oil and fluids levels is the
most economical and easiest way to help your
vehicle perform at its best. Rigorous oil level
inspection and replacement will greatly help
minimize expensive and unscheduled repairs.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check engine oil level when engine is still warm
and with vehicle parked on a level surface. Shut
OFF engine and wait at least 10 minutes for oil
to drain into oil pan before checking. Check
engine oil level daily or before each trip. Add oil
as required. Do not overfill. Remove dipstick,
wipe clean and fully reinsert to ensure an
accurate reading. Remove dipstick and check
engine oil level.
The oil level must be maintained between the
two marks indicated on the dipstick. Do not let
the oil level drop below the L mark. Add oil by
opening the oil reserve tank drain cock or
through the oil filler pipe. Use the markings on
the tank to check the quantity of oil added. Close
the oil reserve tank drain cock or oil filler cap
after adding oil. Recheck the oil level. Do not let
the oil level go above the F mark on the dipstick.
