Checking Engine Oil

It is a good idea to check your engine oil every time you

get fuel. 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 5-12 for

the location of the engine oil dipstick.

Turn off the engine and give the oil several minutes to

drain back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil

dipstick might not show the actual level.

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.

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is at or below the lower hole at the tip of

the dipstick (B), then you will need to add at least

one quart of oil. But you must use the right kind.

This section explains what kind of oil to use.

For engine oil crankcase capacity, see Capacities

and Speciﬁcations on page 5-85.

Notice: Do not add too much oil. If your engine has

so much oil that the oil level gets above the upper

hole (A) that shows the proper operating range, your

engine could be damaged.

See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for

the location of the engine oil ﬁll cap.

Be sure to add enough oil to put the level somewhere in

the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the

way back in when you are through.

What Kind of Engine Oil to Use

Look for two things:

• GM6094M

Your vehicle’s engine requires oil meeting GM

Standard GM6094M. You should look for and use

only an oil that meets GM Standard GM6094M.
