With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil
level on the dipstick.

■

Checking the engine oil

Park the vehicle on level ground. After warming up the engine
and turning it off, wait more than 5 minutes for the oil to drain
back into the bottom of the engine.
Remove the sand and dust from around the dipstick.

Holding a rag under the end,
pull the dipstick out.

Wipe the dipstick clean.

Make sure that the inlet of the oil level gauge guide and O-ring of the
dipstick are free from sand and dust.
If the O-ring is damaged, replace it with a new one.

Reinsert the dipstick fully.

Holding a rag under the end,
pull the dipstick out and
check the oil level.

Low
Normal
Excessive

The shape of the dipstick may
differ depending on the type
of vehicle or engine.

Wipe the dipstick and reinsert it fully.
