Oil Check

The oil dipstick/ oil fill is located on the right side engine. Access the dipstick from under the box or through the passenger wheel well.

To check the oil, do the following:

1. Position vehicle on a level surface and place the transmission in PARK.

2. Stop the engine and allow it to cool down before removing the dipstick. Remove the key from ignition.

3. Raise the cargo box. Turn the dipstick counter clockwise. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

4. Reinstall the dipstick and turn it clockwise until snug.

   NOTICE

   Make certain the dipstick is threaded all the way into the dipstick tube to keep the depth of the dipstick consistent.

5. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.

6. Add the recommended oil as necessary to bring the oil level within the SAFE range on dipstick using a funnel. Do not overfill (see NOTICE below).

   NOTICE

   A rising oil level between checks during cold weather operation can indicate contaminants such as gas or moisture collecting in the crankcase. If the oil level is over the upper mark, change the oil immediately.

7. With the cargo box raised, add engine oil through dipstick hole 2.

   

8. When finished, reinstall dipstick. Lower the cargo box and secure in position.
