Off the engine, wait few minutes, the oil to drain back into bottom, vehicle, reinsert the dipstick in the direction so that ”ENGINE OIL”, top should be read correctly push.
The approximate quantity oil needed, fill between the low level full level, on the dipstick is indicated below reference, when the level reaches within correct.
Range, install filler cap hand−tight, remove the oil filler cap add engine, oil in small quantities time, checking, z Check the oil level dipstick.
