EPA Fuel Economy Estimates
Every new vehicle should have a sticker on the window called
the Monroney Label which contains EPA fuel economy esti-
mates. Contact your authorized service center if the Monroney
label is not supplied with your vehicle. The EPA fuel economy
estimates should be your guide for the fuel economy compari-
sons with other vehicles. Your fuel economy may vary
depending upon the method of operation and conditions.
ENGINE OIL
Checking the Engine Oil
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule at the beginning of this sec-
tion for the appropriate intervals for checking the engine oil.
1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 15 minutes for the oil to
drain into the oil pan.
3. Set the parking brake and ensure the gearshift is securely
latched in P (Park).
4. Open the hood. Protect yourself from engine heat.
5. Locate and carefully remove the engine oil level dipstick.
The dipstick location is shown in the illustration on the
right.
6. Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the dipstick fully, then
remove it again.
• If the oil level is between the lower and upper holes or
between the MIN and MAX marks (depending on appli-
cation), the oil level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
• If the oil level is below the lower hole or the MIN mark,
add enough oil to raise the level within the lower and
upper holes or within the MIN-MAX range.
