Engine Oil

Checking Oil Level — 3.6L Engine

To assure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil must

be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at

regular intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best time to

check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a

fully warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will

improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Maintain

the oil level between the MIN and MAX markings on the

dipstick. Adding 1.0 quart (1.0 liter) of oil when the

reading is at the MIN mark will result in a MAX reading

on these engines.

CAUTION!

Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or
loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine.

Checking Oil Level — 5.7L Engine

To assure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil must

be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at

regular intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best time to

check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a

fully warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will

improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Maintain

the oil level in the “SAFE” range. Adding 1.0 quart (1.0

liter) of oil when the reading is at the bottom of the

“SAFE” range will result in an oil level at the top of the

“SAFE” range on these engines.

CAUTION!

Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or
loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine.
