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 right behind the
engine fans and in front 
of the engine oil filler cap.
The top of the dipstick is 
a round yellow loop. See
“Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index 
for more information 
on location.
