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 has
a yellow ring handle and is
located in the engine
compartment on the
passenger's side
of
the
vehicle. See
Engine
Compartment Overview on
page
5-14
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.
