OIL
LEVEL
If the
LOW
OIL
LEVEL
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
Level 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.
