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 out 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.
