S Checking engine oil level, s Installing snow tires chains, with the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check oil level, should be on a level spot.

The engine, wait a few minutes oil, to drain back into the bottom engine, above the low level line, add engine oil, of the same type as already engine.

Remove the oil filler cap add engine, oil in small quantities time, checking, the approximate quantity oil needed, fill between the low level line full.

Level line on the dipstick indicated below, when the level reaches within correct, range, install filler cap hand-tight, zCheck the oil level dipstick.

Once again after adding oil, use API SH, Energy-Conserving II” multigrade engine oil or ILSAC multigrade engine oil, extremely low temperatures, the engine may become difficult start, so, either or both API registered marks.
