Checking the oil level using the oil dipstick

Example: vehicles with a gasoline engine

Example: vehicles with a diesel engine
– 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.
– Pull oil dipstick 1 out of the dipstick guide
tube.
– 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.
