Engine Oil (Gasoline Engine)

If your vehicle has a diesel engine, see “Engine Oil” in

the Diesel Engine Supplement.

If the CHECK OIL LEVEL light appears on the

instrument cluster (except vehicles equipped with the

4.3L engine), it means you need to check your engine oil

level right away.

For more information, see Driver Information

Center (DIC) on page 3-50.

You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is

an added reminder.

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 5-14 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 you do not do this,

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.

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip

of the dipstick, 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 5-136.
