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 behind the radiator
on the driver’s side of
the vehicle. The handle is
a yellow loop. For more
information on location see
Engine Compartment
Overview

5-12.
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.
