Check the engine oil level regularly and
maintain the proper oil level. See “Checking
Engine Oil” and “When to Add Engine Oil” in

Change the engine oil at the appropriate
time. See Engine Oil Life System 3195.

i
t could burn you. Use atowel or glove to
touch the dipstick handle.

m
essage displays, check the oil level.
Follow these guidelines:
•
To get an accurate reading, park the vehicle
on level ground. Check the engine oil level
after the engine has been off for at least
two hours. Checking the engine oil level
on steep grades or too soon after engine
shutoff can result in incorrect readings.
Accuracy improves when checking acold
engine prior to starting. Remove the
dipstick and check the level.
•
If unable to wait two hours, the engine
must be off for at least 15 minutes if the
engine is warm, or at least 30 minutes if the
engine is not warm. Pull out the dipstick,
wipe it with aclean paper towel or cloth,
then push it back in all the way. Remove
it again, keeping the tip down, and check
the level.
