Visual Inspection

■Check the engine oil level 

  1. Warm up and stop the engine, and then wait for 5 minutes.
  2. 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.)

  3. Pull the dipstick out, wipe and re-insert it fully.
  4. Check that the oil level is between the "L" level mark and "F" level mark on the engine oil level gauge.
  5. If the level is low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.

    ■Engine Oil Appearance 

    1. Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
    2. If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
