3-17. ENGINE OIL SERVICING
a. Raise and secure hood (para. 3-8).
CAUTION
Do not permit dirt, dust, or grit to enter engine oil dipstick tube.
Internal engine damage will result if engine oil becomes
contaminated.
NOTE
·
Engine oil level is checked with engine off.
·
If oil level checks above 'FULL," it may be due to oil cooler drain
back. Operate the engine for one minute, shut down, wait one
minute, and recheck oil level.
·
Vehicles equipped with deep fording kit will have a sealed
dipstick.
b. Pull out dipstick (1) and check for proper oil level. Level should be at
crosshatch marks (2) between “FULL" and “ADD 1 QT.”
CAUTION
Do not overfill engine crankcase. Damage to engine will result.
c. If engine oil is low, remove oil filler cap (3) and add engine oil
(Appendix G).
CAUTION
Install a non-vented filler cap only. An incorrect filler cap will not
seal properly, causing water to enter and damage engine.
