ENGINE OIL CHECK

minutes for the oil to drain into the oil
pan.

3. Set the parking brake and ensure the

gearshift is in park (P).

engine heat.

5. Locate and carefully remove the engine

oil level dipstick. See Under Hood
Overview (page 300).

6. Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the

dipstick fully, then remove it again.

If the oil level is between the lower

acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.

If the oil level is below the lower
hole, add enough oil to raise the

holes.

Oil levels above the upper hole may
cause engine damage. Some oil
must be removed from the engine
by an authorized dealer.

Put the oil level dipstick back into the
oil dipstick tube and ensure it is fully
seated.
