Checking the Engine Oil Level - 7M-GEChecking the Engine Oil Level - 7M-GTE

With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level on the dipstick.

  1. To get a true reading, the vehicle should be on a level spot. After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine.
  2. Pull out the dipstick, and wipe it clean with a rag.
  3. Reinsert the dipstick - push it in as far as it will go, or the reading will not be correct.
  4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil level on the end.

If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low level line, add engine oil of the same type as already in the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine oil in small quantities at a time, check the dipstick.
The approximate quantity of oil needed to fill between the low level line and the full level line on the dipstick is indicated below for reference.
When the oil level reaches within the correct range, install the filler cap hand tight.

Oil Quantity : 1.0 Litre (1.1 US Quart, 0.9 Imperial Quart)

NOTICE:
Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.
Check the oil level on the dipstick once again after adding oil.
