Step 34: Tighten the oil filler cap.

Step 35: Run the engine for a few minutes. After the oil pressure warning light goes out, stop the engine.

Step 36: Check the oil level 5 minutes after the stop of the engine operation using a dipstick and add oil if necessary.

The oil level should be between the Min and Max marks.
Make sure that the oil filler cap is properly tightened.
Check the threaded plug of the drainage hole and the oil filter seal for tightness. If necessary, carefully tighten them up.

Step 37: Remove the fender protection cover.

Step 38: Close the hood.

Tip from AUTODOC: Note that oil pressure warning light, which indicates insufficient pressure in the lubrication system, may be on for a longer time than usual. After a few seconds, the oil will fill all the channels, and the light will go out.
