| + | [* black] The dip stick will come out with oil covering the tip. On a diesel engine it is normal for the oil to be dark black; the oil is designed to hold the diesel soot in suspension.

| + | [* black] The oil level should fall somewhere between the notches on the tip of the stick. The notches mean: |
| + | [* red] Low - add oil |
| + | [* blue] Full |
| + | [* black] If oil is at or below the Low notch add oil slowly, checking the level occasionally, until it reaches the Full notch. |
