Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil a couple of
minutes after shutting off the engine.
Make sure the car is parked on level
ground. This will allow the oil to
drain down to the bottom of the
engine.
1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it
with a cloth or paper towel.
2. Insert it all the way back in its
tube.

3. Pull it out again and look at the oil
level at the end of the dipstick. If it
is between the upper and lower
marks, the level is correct. Add oil
if the level is at or below the lower
mark.

To add oil, unscrew and remove the
oil filler cap on top of the left valve
cover. Pour in the oil, and replace
the filler cap. Tighten it until it
clicks. Wait a few minutes and
recheck the oil level. Do not fill above
the upper mark; you could damage
the engine.
