Engine Oil

To ensure proper engine
performance and long life, careful
attention must be paid to engine
oil. Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect
your investment:

.

Always use engine oil approved
to the proper specification and
of the proper viscosity grade.
See “Selecting the Right Engine
Oil” in this section.

.

Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See “Checking
Engine Oil” and “When to Add
Engine Oil” in this section.

.

Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See Engine
Oil Life System on page 10‑14
.

.

Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “What to Do with
Used Oil” in this section.

Checking Engine Oil

It is a good idea to check the
engine oil level at each fuel fill.
In order to get an accurate reading,
the vehicle must be on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick handle
is a yellow loop. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10‑6
for the location of
the engine oil dipstick.
