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 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 10

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 this is not
done, 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 below the cross-hatched
area at the tip of the dipstick, add at
least one quart/liter of the
recommended oil. This section
explains what kind of oil to use. For
engine oil crankcase capacity, see

Capacities and Specifications on
page 12

.

Notice:

Do not add too much oil.

If the engine has so much oil that
the oil level gets above the
cross-hatched area that shows
the proper operating range, the
engine could be damaged.

See

Engine Compartment Overview

on page 10

for the location of the

engine oil fill cap.

Add enough oil to put the level
somewhere in the proper operating
range in the cross-hatched area.
Push the dipstick all the way back in
when through.
