Engine Oil
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil a couple of
minutes after shutting off the engine.
Make sure the car is parked on level
ground. This will allow the oil to
drain down into the bottom of the
engine.
1. Pull out the dipstick (orange loop)
and wipe it with a cloth or paper
towel.
UPPER MARK
2. Insert it all the way back in its
tube.
3. Pull it out again and look at the oil
level at the end of the dipstick.
If it is between the upper and
lower marks, the level is correct.
Add oil if the level is at or below
the lower mark.
Adding
To add oil, unscrew and remove the
engine oil fill cap on top of the valve
cover. Pour in the oil, and replace the
engine oil fill cap. Tighten it securely.
Wait a few minutes and recheck the
oil level. Do not fill above the upper
mark; you could damage the engine.
