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:
Always 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 on page 10-9.
Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See What to Do with
Used Oil in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
If equipped, the ENGINE OIL LOW
ADD OIL message displays when
the engine oil level may be too low.
See Engine Oil Messages on
page 5-38. Check the oil level
before filling to the recommended
level. If the oil is not low and this
message remains on, see your
dealer.
It is also a good idea to check the
engine oil level at each fuel fill. In
order to get an accurate reading,
the vehicle must be on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick handle is a
loop. See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 10-5 for the
location of the engine oil dipstick.
