Checking Engine Oil
It's a good idea to check your engine oil every time you
get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading, the
oil
must be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick
handle is the yellow loop
located near the front
of the engine. See Engine
Compattment Overview
on page 5-12 for more
information on location.
If the LOW OIL light
appears on the instrument
cluster, it means you
oil level right away. For
more information, see
Low Oil Level Light
on page
3-40.
