1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"/ "OFF" position. If you check the oil level just after turning the ignition switch to the "LOCK"/"OFF" position, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan before checking the level.

CAUTION
If the level gauge cannot be pulled out easily, twist the level gauge right and left, then gently pull it out.
Otherwise, you may be injured accidentally straining yourself.
2. Pull out the level gauge, wipe it clean, and insert it again.
3. Be sure the level gauge is correctly inserted until it stops.

4. Pull out the oil level gauge again.
5. Check the oil levels on both sides of the level gauge. The engine oil level must be judged by the lowest of the two levels.
If the oil level is below the low level mark, add oil so that the full level is reached.
CAUTION
To add engine oil, remove the engine oil filler cap and slowly pour engine oil through the filler neck. After pouring oil into the engine, you must use the level gauge to confirm that the oil level is correct.
NOTE
To prevent overfilling the engine oil, do not add any additional oil above the upper level when the engine is cold.
