Engine Oil

If the low oil level light appears on
the instrument cluster, check the
engine oil level right away. See Low
Oil Level Light
on page 4-22.
Check the engine oil level regularly;
this is just a reminder.

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 oil must be warm and the
vehicle must be on level ground.

The engine oil dipstick handle
is a yellow loop. See Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 9-6
for the location of the engine oil
dipstick.

1. Turn off the engine and give the

oil several minutes to drain back
into the oil pan. If this is not
done, the oil dipstick might not
show the actual level.

2. Pull the dipstick and clean it with

a paper towel or cloth, then push
it back in all the way. Remove
it again, keeping the tip down and
check the level.
