Engine Oil
Always check and change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 65. Always use the recommended
engine oil.
Oil Check
Always check the oil when the engine is cold. If the engine is hot when
the oil is checked, the level will appear to be overfull.
Access the oil tank dipstick through the oil tank access panel in the left
forward corner of the cargo box.

surface.
2. Place the transmission in
PARK.
3. Start the engine and allow it
to idle for 30 seconds.
4. Stop the engine and wait 15
seconds before removing the
dipstick.
5. Open the oil tank access
panel. Remove the dipstick
from the oil tank. Wipe it dry
with a clean cloth.
6. Reinstall the dipstick completely. Remove the dipstick and check
the oil level.
7. Add the recommended oil as needed. Maintain the oil level between
the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
