Engine Oil

If the LOW OIL light
appears on the instrument
panel, it means you need
to check your engine oil
level right away. For more
information, see “Low Oil
Level Light” in the Index.

You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is
an added reminder.

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 handle is the yellow loop located
near the front of the engine compartment. See “Engine
Compartment Overview” in the Index for more
information on location.
