Install the dipstick in the dipstick tube housing.

Use the correct volume of clean 15W-40 oil to fill the oil pan to the specified “low” oil level. Refer to Procedure 018-017 in Section V for the correct engine oil capacity for the application.

CAUTION  Use care when marking the dipstick, or the dipstick will break if the scribe mark is too deep.

Remove the dipstick and scribe a mark across the stick at the oil level. Label the mark with an “L” to indicate the “low” oil level.

Wipe off the dipstick, and install it in the dipstick tube housing.

Use the correct volume of oil to fill the oil pan to the specified “high” oil level. Refer to Procedure 018-017 in Section V for engine oil capacity.
