CAUTION

When burning away and removing soot accumu-
lated in the DPF, fuel can mix with the engine oil 
and an increase in the engine oil level may occur. 
This does not indicate an abnormality. However, 
if the engine oil level is at or over the "X" mark on 
the engine oil level gauge, change the engine oil 
<Vehicles with diesel particulate filter (DPF)>.
1. Pull out the engine oil level gauge slowly and 

check that the engine oil level is in the illustrated 
range.

2. Check that the engine oil is not excessively dirty, 

that there is no engine coolant or fuel mixed in, 
and that it has sufficient viscosity.

1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the 

temperature of the coolant reaches 80 

°C to 90 

°C.

2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.

WARNING

Use care as oil could be hot.

3. Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
