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:

.

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

Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See

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 loop.
See

Engine Compartment Overview

0

259

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.

{

Warning

The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.

2. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it

with a clean paper towel or
cloth, then push it back in all
the way. Remove it again,
keeping the tip down, and
check the level.
