2. Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out.
3. Wipe the dipstick clean.
4. Reinsert the dipstick fully.
5. Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out and check whether the oil level is above low level mark.
The shape of the dipstick may differ depending on the type of vehicle or engine.

NOTICE
â– To prevent serious engine damage
Check the oil level on a regular basis.
â– Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be refilled in between oil maintenance intervals.
â– Engine oil level rise
If the vehicle is repeatedly driven without the engine warmed up, moisture caused by dew condensation inside the engine or fuel which did not burn mixes into the engine oil, resulting in a rise in engine oil level. However, this is not a malfunction.
