At Each Stop for Fuel

• Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after a fully

warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while
the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accu-
racy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the
level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.

• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if

required.

Once a Month

• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or

damage.

• Inspect the battery, clean and tighten the terminals as

• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake

master cylinder, power steering and transmission and
add as needed.

• Check all lights and other electrical items for correct

operation.

At Each Oil Change
