Engine Oil Check

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Pull out the engine oil dipstick, clean off the engine oil on the engine oil dipstick, and then reinsert the engine oil dipstick.
  2. Pull out the engine oil dipstick, and check the engine oil level is within the marks on one side of the engine oil dipstick (engine cover side.)
    NOTE:
    • Checking the engine oil might be difficult shortly after stopping the engine or engine oil replacement.
    • If difficult, take some time (approximately 30 seconds) and try again.
    • Refer to the information label indicating the engine oil check process on the rocker cover.
