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 10-16.
Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See What to Do with
Used Oil in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
(Except Z51)
If the ENGINE OIL LOW - ADD OIL
message displays on the Driver
Information Centre (DIC), check the
engine oil level right away. For more
information, see Engine Oil
Messages on page 5-35. Check the
engine oil level regularly; this is an
added reminder.
It is 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 10-7 for the location of the
engine oil dipstick.
