Lift the hood up most of the way.
The hydraulic supports will lift it
up the rest of the way and hold it
up.

To close the hood, lower it to about a
foot (30 cm) above the fender, then
press down firmly with your hands.
Make sure the hood is securely
latched.

Park the vehicle on a level surface.

Insert the dipstick all the way back
into its hole.

Wipe off the dipstick with a clean
cloth or paper towel.

Remove the dipstick (orange loop).

Wait a few minutes after turning the
engine off before you check the oil.

If the hood latch handle moves
stiffly, or if you can open the hood
without lifting the handle, the
mechanism should be cleaned and
lubricated.
