CAUTION!

(Continued)

Your vehicle has been built with improved fluids

that protect the performance and durability of your
vehicle and also allow extended maintenance inter-
vals. Do not use chemical flushes in these compo-
nents as the chemicals can damage your engine,
transmission or air conditioning. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
If a flush is needed because of component malfunc-
tion, use only the specified fluid for the flushing
procedure.

Engine Oil

Checking Oil Level
To assure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil must

be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at

regular intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best time to

check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a

fully warmed up engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will

improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Always

maintain the oil level within the SAFE zone on the

dipstick. Adding 1 quart (0.9 L) of oil when the reading is

at the bottom of the SAFE zone will result in a reading at

the top of the safe zone on these engines.
