ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The oil fill cap and dipstick are located under the hood, on the engine. Always
use the recommended oil.
NOTE
The engine must be at normal operating temperature when checking or
changing the oil. Do not check or change the oil when the engine is cold.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Place the transmission in neutral.
Engage the park brake.
2. Start the engine and allow it to idle for 2-3 minutes. Stop the engine.
3. Wait 3 minutes before checking the oil level. This allows the oil to settle to the
bottom of the crankcase. Do not check the oil level immediately after
stopping the engine.
4. Open the hood. See page 38.
5. Remove the dipstick
w
. Wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
6. Reinstall the dipstick. Make sure it’s fully seated.
7. Remove the dipstick and view the oil level. Maintain the oil level between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick
e
. Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.
NOTICE
A rising oil level between checks in cool weather driving can indicate
contaminants such as fuel or moisture collecting in the crankcase. If the oil
level is over the full mark, change the oil immediately.
