qInspecting Engine Oil Level

surface.
2. Warm up the engine to normal

It's OK between MIN and MAX.
But if it's near or below MIN, add
enough oil to bring the level to MAX.
CAUTION
Don't add engine oil over MAX. This
may cause engine damage.
6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is
positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.
The distance between MIN and MAX on
the dipstick represents the following:
