460 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Checking Oil Level
To ensure proper lubrication of your vehicle's engine, the
engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. The engine
oil level should be checked five minutes after a warmed up
engine has been shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will
improve
the accuracy of the oil level readings. Always main-
tain the oil level within the SAFE zone on the dipstick.
A
dding 1
quart (0.95 liters) of oil when the reading is at the
bottom of the crosshatch zone will result in a reading at the
top of the crosshatch zone on these engines.
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear
window washer (if equipped) is shared. The fluid reservoir
is located in the engine compartment. Be sure to check the
fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with wind
-
shield washer solvent only (not radiator antifreeze). When
r
efilli
ng the washer fluid reservoir, take some washer fluid
and apply it to a cloth or towel and wipe clean the wiper
blades; this will help blade performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer system in
cold wea
ther, select a solution or mixture that meets or
exceeds the temperature range of your climate. This rating
information can be found on most washer fluid containers.
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause
a
eration
or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your
engine.
WARNING!
Commercial windshield washer solvents are flammable.
They coul
d ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised
when filling or working around the washer solution.
