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

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