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 10-9

.

.

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 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.

{

Warning

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