CAUTION:
Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will result in the loss of natural oil from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Wear protective clothing and gloves. Avoid contact with used oil. If contact occurs, wash your skin thoroughly with soap or waterless hand cleaner. Never use gasoline, thinners, or solvents to wash the skin.

Tech Tips
If the oil level is low, check for leaks and add oil to the Full mark.
Note
Do not add oil above the Full mark.
Warm up the engine until the coolant temperature is 75°C to 86°C (167°F to 187°F), and confirm that the oil maintenance indicator illuminates when driving the vehicle at 15 km/h (9 mph) or more with an engine speed of 1400 to 2600 rpm.
