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
back of the engine.
Note: Do not check the
5.7L
engine oil level after the
engine has sat overnight.
A
higher
than
normal reading
might be obtained. Check oil level with the oil warm.
Shut
off
the engine, wait a few minutes, and then
check the oil.
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.
