A
CHECK
OIL
LEVEL
message will appear when the
engine oil is approximately a quart low. If the message is
displayed, check the dipstick level and add oil as needed.
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 behind the radiator
on
the driver’s side of the
engine. The black handle
says
ENGINE
OIL
on
it.
Turn off the engine and give
the oil a few 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.
