Engine Oil

Checking Engine Oil

It is a good idea to check the engine

oil level at each fuel fill. In order to

get an accurate reading, the oil

must be warm and the vehicle

must be on level ground.

The engine oil dipstick handle

is a yellow loop. See Engine

Compartment Overview

on

page 10‑6

for the location

of the engine oil dipstick.

1. Turn off the engine and give the

oil several minutes to drain back

into the oil pan. If this is not

done, the oil dipstick might not

show the actual level.

2. 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.

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is below the cross-hatched

area at the tip of the dipstick,

add at least one quart/liter of the

recommended oil. This section

explains what kind of oil to use.

For engine oil crankcase capacity,

see Capacities and Specifications

on page 12‑2

.

Notice: Do not add too much oil.

If the engine has so much oil

that the oil level gets above the

cross-hatched area that shows

the proper operating range, the

engine could be damaged.

See Engine Compartment Overview

on page 10‑6

for the location of the

engine oil fill cap.

Add enough oil to put the level

somewhere in the proper operating

range in the cross-hatched area.

Push the dipstick all the way back

in when through.
