Engine Oil

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 5-12
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.
