Visual Inspection
■Check the engine oil level
- Warm up and stop the engine, and then wait for 5 minutes.
- Turn the engine off and wait for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for the oil to return to the oil pan.
(Be sure that the vehicle is on level ground.)
- Pull the dipstick out, wipe and re-insert it fully.
- Check that the oil level is between the "L" level mark and "F" level mark on the engine oil level gauge.
- If the level is low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.
■Engine Oil Appearance
- Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
- If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
