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.

Engine
The handle
of
the engine
oil dipstick is a round,
yellow ring. On the 2.5L
engine it is located
near the front of the engine
compartment towards
the driver’s side of
the vehicle.
See
Engine Compartment Overview on page

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.
