Engine Oil

If the CHECK OIL LEVEL
light on the instrument
panel comes on, it means
you need to check your
engine oil level right away.

For more information, see “Check Oil Level Light” in
the Index. You should check your engine oil level
regularly; this is an added reminder.

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
right behind the engine fans
and in front of the engine
oil fill cap. The top of 
the dipstick is a round, 
yellow loop.

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.
