– Park the vehicle on a level surface.

To check the oil level with the engine at operating temperature, switch the engine off and wait for approximately five minutes.

– Wipe off oil dipstick 1.
– Slowly slide oil dipstick 1 into the guide tube to the stop, and take it out again.
If the level is between MIN mark 3 and MAX mark 2, the oil level is correct.
– If the fuel level has sunk to MIN mark 3 or below, add 0.55 to 1.1 US qt (0.5 to 1.0 l) engine oil.
