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 and wipe it
clean with a cloth or paper towel.
2. Reinsert it all the way in as far as it
will go.
3. Pull the dipstick out 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.
Adding
If the oil level reaches the lower
mark on the dipstick, add one quart
of the recommended engine oil. To
do this, unscrew and remove the oil
filler cap on top of the front valve
cover. Pour in the oil, and replace
the filler cap. Make sure it is se-
curely tightened.
