ENGINE OIL

Checking the engine oil

Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for the appropriate intervals

for checking the engine oil.

1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.

2. Turn the engine off and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the

oil pan.

3. Set the parking brake and ensure the gearshift is securely latched in P

(Park) (automatic transmission) or 1 (First) (manual transmission).

4. Open the hood. Protect yourself from engine heat.

5. Locate and carefully remove the

engine oil level indicator (dipstick).

6. Wipe the indicator clean. Insert the indicator fully, then remove it

again.

• If the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks, the oil level is

acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
