Oil Check
Wait a few minutes after turning the
engine off before you check the oil.
1. Remove the dipstick (orange tab).
2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
3. Insert it all the way back in its
tube.
4. Remove the dipstick again, and
check the level. It should be
between the upper and lower
marks.
If it is near or below the lower mark,
see Adding Engine Oil on page 193.
Engine Coolant Check
Look at the coolant level in the
radiator reserve tank. Make sure it is
between the MAX and MIN lines. If
it is below the MIN line, see Adding
Engine Coolant on page 196 for
information on adding the proper
coolant.
Refer to Owner's Maintenance
Checks on page 190 for information
about checking other items on your
vehicle.
