3400 V6 Engine
The engine oil dipstick handle is yellow. The dipstick on
the 2.2L L4 ECOTEC engine is located at the front of
the engine compartment. The dipstick on the 3400 V6
engine is located on the front of the engine, behind the
fan. See “Engine Compartment Overview” in the Index
for more information on location.
Turn off the engine and give the oil several minutes to
drain back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil dipstick
might not show the actual level.
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.
