Engine Oil
If the CHECK OIL light
appears on the instrument
cluster, it means you need to
check your engine oil level
right away. For more
information, see “Check
Oil Light” in the Index.
You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is
an added reminder.
Checking Engine Oil
It’s 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 is
located in the front of the
engine compartment. The
top of the dipstick is a
round, yellow loop. See
“Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index
for more information
on location.
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.
