Engine Oil
LOW
OIL
If the LOW
OIL
light on
the instrument panel comes
on,
it
means you need to
check your engine
oil
level
right away.
For more information, see “LOW OIL Light” in the
Index.
You
should check your engine oil level regularly;
this
is
an added reminder.
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
the yellow loop near the front
of the engine.
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.
