Manual Description
D Checking engine oil level, d Checking engine coolant level, d Installing snow tires chains, with the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check oil level.
Should be on a level spot, off the engine, wait few minutes, the oil to drain back into bottom, be careful not to touch hot exhaust manifold.
Above the low level, add engine oil, the same type as already engine, remove the oil filler cap add engine, oil in small quantities time, checking.
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, either or both API registered marks, added to some oil containers help, z Check the oil level dipstick.
Once again after adding oil, the API Service Symbol is located anywhere on the outside container, use API grade SH, ”Energy-Conserving II”, or SJ, Energy- Conserving” multigrade engine oil or ILSAC multigrade engine oil.
Quality by API (American Petroleum Institute) designations such SJ, portion of the label shows the SAE viscosity grade such as SAE 5W- 30, indicates that the oil has fuel-saving capabilities, the ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee) Certification Mark is displayed front.
Vehicle, for good fuel economy, may become difficult start, so SAE, look at the see-through coolant reservoir when the engine is cold, the ”F” and ”L” lines reservoir.
If the level low, add ethylene-glycol, the coolant level in reservoir will vary, level is on or below ”L” line, add, if the coolant level drops within short.
Time after replenishing, there may be, radiator, hoses, radiator cap drain, dealer test the cap pressure check, read the antifreeze container for information on freeze protection.
Cooling system is given Part 8, recommend solution be used your, toyota, or a sufficient quantity provide, to prevent burning yourself, do not.
Remove the radiator cap when engine hot, to check the fluid level, simply look, down slightly as the brake pads wear, be sure to keep reservoir filled.
If you spill the fluid, be sure wash, it off with water prevent it, if the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it, may indicate serious mechanical problem.
If the level is low, add SAE J1703, remove and replace reservoir cover, level when you put cover back on.
