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 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.

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is at or below the hole at the tip of the dipstick,

then you will need to add up to two quarts 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 5-98

Notice:

Do not add too much oil. If your engine has

so much oil that the oil level gets above the upper

mark 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 near the

upper hole in the dipstick. Push the dipstick all the way

back in when you are through.
