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 has
a yellow
loop handle and
is located in the engine
compartment on the
passenger’s side of the
vehicle. See Engine
Comparfment Overview
on page 5-12 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.
