Engine Oil
United States Canada
If the low engine oil level message appears on the
instrument panel, it means you need to check your
engine oil level right away. For more information,
see “Low Engine Oil Level Message” 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 is
located at the front of the
engine compartment, near
the center. The dipstick
handle has a bright, yellow
loop design for easy
identification. See “Engine
Compartment Overview”
in the Index for more
information on location.
Turn off the engine and give the oil several minutes to
drain back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil dipstick
might not show the actual level.
Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or
cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again,
keeping the tip down, and check the level.
