ENGINE OIL CHECK
To check the engine oil level consistently
and accurately, do the following:
1.
Make sure the parking brake is on. Make
sure the transmission is in park (P) or
neutral (N).
2. Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature.
3. Make sure that your vehicle is on level
ground.
4. Switch the engine off and wait 15
minutes for the oil to drain into the oil
pan. Checking the engine oil level too
soon after you switch the engine off
may result in an inaccurate reading.
5. Open the hood. See
6. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean, lint-free cloth. See
7.
Replace the dipstick and remove it
again to check the oil level. See
8. Make sure that the oil level is between
the maximum and minimum marks. If
the oil level is at the minimum mark,
add oil immediately. See
9. If the oil level is correct, replace the
dipstick and make sure it is fully seated.
Note:
Do not remove the dipstick when the
engine is running.
Note:
If the oil level is between the
maximum and minimum marks, the oil level
is acceptable. Do not add oil.
Note:
The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately
3,100 mi (5,000 km).
