Checking Engine Oil
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
located at the front of the
engine compartment,
near the center. The
dipstick handle has a
bright, yellow loop design
for easy identification.

for
more information on location.
Turn
off
the engine and give the oil several minutes
to
drain back into the
oil
pan. If you don’t, the
oil
dipstick might not show the actual level.
Pull
out
the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel
or
cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again,
keeping the tip down, and check the level.
