NOTE:  
^

Before starting the engine, check the oil level. If the engine is already started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.

^

Check that the oil level is within the range as indicated on the dipstick.

^

If it is out of range, add oil as necessary. 

OIL APPEARANCE

Check the oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.

If the oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with coolant.
