Checking the engine oil level
With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level on the dipstick.
To get an accurate reading, the car must be stopped on level ground. After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back to the bottom of the engine.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Reinsert the dipstick – push it in as far as it will go, otherwise the reading will be incorrect.
Remove the dipstick and read the oil level at the end of the dipstick.
Caution! Be careful not to touch the hot exhaust pipe. If the level is below or only slightly above the lower level, add the same type of engine oil.
Remove the filler cap and add engine oil in small portions, checking the dipstick.
The approximate amount of oil required to fill the volume between the low level and the full level on the dipstick is given below for reference. When the level reaches the required range, replace the filler cap back and tighten it by hand.
Amount of oil
| Engine 5S-FE | 0.7 l |
| Engine 1MZ-FE | 1.5 l |
