Engine Oil - Oldsmobile 1995 88 Owner's Manual

Engine Oil
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message, OIL LEVEL light,
or CHECK OIL light on the instrument panel comes on,
it means you need to check your engine oil level right
away. For more information, see "Check Oil Message,"
"Oil Level Light," or "Check Oil" in the Index. You
should check your engine oil level regularly; this is an
added reminder.
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 is located immediately behind
the engine fans and in front of the engine oil fill cap.
The top of the dipstick is a yellow ring.
Turn off the engine and give the oil a few minutes to
drain back into the oil pan. If you don't, the oil dipstick
might not show the actual level.
