WARNING
Hot engine oil can be dangerous. You
could
be burned. Let the engine oil
cool down before changing it. Failure
to comply may result in death, person-
al injury, equipment or property dam-
age.
NOTE
It takes approximately 15 minutes for
all
the oil to run into the sump when
the engine is warm. If the level is
checked immediately after switching
off the engine, the dipstick will show a
low oil level.
1. Make sure that the vehicle frame
rail is standing on a flat and level
surface.
2.
Make sure that the vehicle is
horizontal, both lengthwise and
crosswise. Check this carefully on
a vehicle with air suspension. Note
that the engine may be inclined up
to 4 degrees, depending on the
vehicle model and wheelbase.
3. Twist the dipstick handle to unlock
it, then pull the dipstick out of the
holder
.
4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a lint-
free cloth.
5. Place the dipstick back into the
holder.
6. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the oil level. The oil level
should always be between the two
marks on the dipstick.
