ENGINE OIL CHECK - DIESEL

To check the engine oil level consistently
and accurately, do the following:

1.

Make sure that your vehicle is on level
ground.

2. Run the engine until it reaches normal

operating temperature.

3. Make sure the parking brake is on. Make

sure the transmission is in park (P) or
neutral (N).

4. Switch the engine off and wait 15

minutes for the oil to drain into the oil
pan.  Checking the engine oil level too
soon after you switch the engine off
may result in an inaccurate reading.

5. Open the hood.  See Opening and

Closing the Hood (page 340).

6. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with

a clean, lint-free cloth.  See Under
Hood Overview (page 341).

7.

Replace the dipstick and remove it
again to check the oil level.  See
Engine Oil Dipstick (page 346).

8. Make sure that the oil level is between

the maximum and minimum marks. If
the oil level is at the minimum mark,
add oil immediately.  See Capacities
and Specifications (page 418).

9. If the oil level is correct, replace the

dipstick and make sure it is fully seated.

Note: Do not remove the dipstick when the
engine is running.

Note:  If the oil level is between the
maximum and minimum marks, the oil level
is acceptable.  Do not add oil.

Note: The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately
3,000 mi (5,000 km).

Adding Engine Oil

WARNING

Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
