Checking the oil level using the oil dipstick

Park the vehicle on a level
surface.
To check the oil level with the engine at
normal 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 oil level has sunk to MIN
mark 3 or
below, add
0.55 to 1.1 US qt(0.5 to 1.0 liter) engine oil.
