direct contact of hot oil with your skin.
Drain the lubricating oil. Refer to Procedure 007-037
Wipe off the dipstick, and install it in the dipstick tube
housing.
Use clean 15W-40 oil to fill the oil pan to the specified low
oil level. The low oil level can be found by looking up the
oil pan option for the engine serial number on QuickServe
OnLine.
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.
NOTE: If a new, blank dipstick is being used, cut the
dipstick off approximately 38 mm [1.5 in] below the low oil
level mark.
