Engine Oil: Testing and Inspection

OIL LEVEL





NOTE:
^ Before starting the engine, check the oil level. If the engine is already started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
^ Check that the oil level is within the range as indicated on the dipstick.
^ If it is out of range, add oil as necessary. Refer to "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".

ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
^ Check engine oil for white milky or excessive contamination.
^ If engine oil becomes milky, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant. Repair or replace damaged parts.
