To check the engine oil level consistently

and accurately, do the following:

1. Make sure the parking brake is on. Make

sure the transmission is in park (P) or

neutral (N).

2. Run the engine until it reaches normal

operating temperature.

3. Make sure that your vehicle is on level

4. Switch the engine off and wait 15 minutes

for the oil to drain into the oil pan.

Checking the engine oil level too soon

after you switch the engine off may result

in an inaccurate reading.

5. Open the hood. See Opening and

Closing the Hood (page 306).

6. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a

clean, lint-free cloth. See Under Hood

Overview (page 308).

7. Replace the dipstick and remove it again

to check the oil level. See Engine Oil

Dipstick (page 312).

8. Make sure that the oil level is between

the maximum and minimum marks. If the

oil level is at the minimum mark, add oil

immediately. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 385).

9. If the oil level is correct, replace the

dipstick and make sure it is fully seated.
