Engine Oil

If the engine oil pressure
light appears on the
instrument cluster, it means
you need to check your
engine oil level right away.
For more information, see
“Engine Oil Pressure Light”
in the Index.

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

Checking Engine Oil

get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading, the oil must
be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground.
