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.
Vehicle Care
Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See Engine Oil
Life System on page 10 12.
Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See What to Do with
Used Oil in this section.
If the engine oil pressure light
comes on, check the engine oil level
right away. The oil pressure light is
on the instrument panel cluster. See
Engine Oil Pressure Light on
page 5 19. Check the engine oil
level regularly; this is an added
reminder.
