Low
Oil Level Light
LOW
OIL
If
your vehicle is equipped
with a
3400
V6
engine,
then you
will
have a LOW
OIL
light in your
instrument panel cluster.
This light will come on briefly when you start your
vehicle.
If
the light stays on after starting your vehicle, or comes
on and chimes while you are driving, your engine
oil
level should be checked.
Prior to checking the oil level, be sure your vehicle has
been shut
off
for several minutes and is on a level
surface. Check the oil level on your dipstick and bring it
to the proper level. See
Engine Oil on page
5-15.
The oil level monitoring system only checks oil level
during the brief period between when the key is on and
the engine is cranking. It does not monitor engine oil level
when the engine is running. Additionally, an oil level
check is only performed
if
the engine has been turned
off
for a considerable period of time allowing the oil normally
in circulation to drain back into the oil pan.
