Engine Oil Level Checking
Engine oil level should be checked when engine is
cold. Allow at least 30 mins. for engine oil to settle
before checking oil level.
1. For checking engine oil level, pull out the dipstick
from the engine oil case, wipe it clean with a cloth
or a paper napkin.
2. Insert it again to its original position.
3. Pull out the dipstick again and observe the oil level
on the dipstick.
4. If the oil level is below the mid point of min. and
max. marks, top up using recommended grade of
oil.
NOTICE
Oil level should not exceed the max. Mark. Always
check the oil level when the car is on a level ground
and the engine in cold condition.
Check the engine oil level if “low oil pressure” warning
comes 'ON' while driving. Failure to check the oil level
regularly could lead toserious troubledue to insufficient
oil.
Engine oil top-up
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly through
the filler hole to bring the oil level to the upper limit on
the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill. Too much oil is
almost as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the
engine and allow it to idle for about a minute. Stop the
engine; let the oil settle and check oil level again.
