Engine Oil

To ensure proper engine

performance and long life, careful

attention must be paid to engine oil.

Following these simple, but

important steps will help protect

your investment:

.

Always use engine oil approved

to the proper specification and of

the proper viscosity grade. See

“Selecting the Right Engine Oil”

in this section.

.

Check the engine oil level

regularly and maintain the

proper oil level. See “Checking

Engine Oil” and “When to Add

Engine Oil” in this section.

.

Change the engine oil at the

appropriate time. See Engine Oil

Life System on page 10‑12.

.

Always dispose of engine oil

properly. See “What to Do with

Used Oil” in this section.

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 vehicle

must be on level ground. The

engine oil dipstick handle is a yellow

loop. See Engine Compartment

Overview on page 10‑6 for the

location of the engine oil dipstick.

Obtaining an accurate oil level

reading is essential:

1. If the engine has been running

recently, turn off the engine and

allow several minutes for the oil

to drain back into the oil pan.

Checking the oil level too soon

after engine shutoff will not

provide an accurate oil level

reading.
