#### OIL LEVEL CHECK

Every time you stop for fuel, check the engine oil as follows:

1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. When checking the oil level it is best for the engine to be at operating temperature, although checking the oil immediately after a stopping will lead to a false reading. Wait a few minutes after turning off the engine to allow the oil to drain back into the crankcase.
3. Open the hood and inspect the level of the engine oil tank. The fluid level on the tank should read between FULL or F and LOW or L.
4. If the level is below the LOW or L line, remove the cap and add enough engine oil to reach the FULL or F line.

6. After filling the oil tank, remove the engine access hole cover on the drivers side.

7. Remove the engine oil dipstick and wipe it clean.
8. Reinsert the dipstick, push it in as far as it will go, the pull it out and look at the level on the end.
9. If necessary, insert more oil through the oil filler cap next to the dipstick, this will completely top off the system.
