Engine Oil and Filter
Checking
Check the engine oil a couple of
minutes after shutting the engine off
with the car parked on level ground.
Remove the dipstick (orange
marking) and wipe it clean. Reinsert
it all the way down, then pull it out
and read the level. The level should
be between the upper and lower
marks.
Adding
If the level has dropped close to the
lower mark, add oil until it is even
with the upper mark.
1. Turn the oil fill cap counterclockwise to remove. Add oil, then check
the level again. Do not overfill.
2. Reinstall the cap and twist clockwise until it stops.
CAUTION:
Be sure the oil fill cap is correctly replaced before starting the
engine.
Recommended Oil
Oil is a major contributor to your engine's performance and longevity.
Always use a premium-grade detergent oil. You can determine an oil's
SAE viscosity and Service Classification from the API Service label on
the oil container. It should look like this:
