Engine Oil
To ensure proper engine
performance and long life, careful
attention must be paid to engine oil.
Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect
your investment:
Use engine oil approved to the
proper specification and of the
proper viscosity grade. See
"Selecting the Right Engine Oil"
in this section.
Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See "Checking
Engine Oil" and "When to Add
Engine Oil" in this section.
Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See Engine Oil
Life System 0 209.
Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See "What to Do with
Used Oil" in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level regularly,
every 650 km (400 mi), especially
prior to a long trip. The engine oil
Vehicle Care
dipstick handle is a loop. See
Engine Compartment Overview
0 204 for the location.
Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.
If a low oil Driver Information Centre
(DIC) message displays, check the
oil level.
Follow these guidelines:
To get an accurate reading, park
the vehicle on level ground.
Check the engine oil level after
the engine has been off for at
least two hours. Checking the
engine oil level on steep
gradients or too soon after
engine shutoff can result in
incorrect readings. Accuracy
improves when checking a cold
engine prior to starting. Remove
the dipstick and check the level.
