If the low engine oil level message appears on the
instrument cluster, it means you need to check your
engine oil level right away. For more information, 
see “Low Engine Oil Level Message” in the Index.

You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is
an added reminder.

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 at the front of 
the engine compartment,
near the center. The dipstick
handle has a bright, 
yellow loop design for 
easy identification.

See “Engine Compartment Overview” in the Index for
more information on location.
