If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade:

After warm up the engine and then 5 minutes after the engine stop, oil level should be between the "L" and "F" of the dipstick
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the "F" mark.

NOTICE: Do not fill with engine oil above the "F" mark.
Install the oil dipstick facing the direction shown in the illustration.
