Engine Oil

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