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.
See "Engine Compartment Overview" in the Index for
more information on location.
The engine oil dipstick has
a yellow handle and is
located near the center of
the engine compartment.
