Engine Oil - GMC Sierra Denali Classic 2007 Owner's Manual

Engine Oil

If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears on
the Driver Information Center (DIC), it means you
need to check the engine oil level right away.
For more information, see CHECK OIL LEVEL
under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 190.
You should check the engine oil level regularly;
this is an added reminder.
Checking Engine Oil
It is a good idea to check the 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 a yellow loop.
See Engine Compartment Overview on page 334
for the location of the engine oil dipstick.
1. Turn off the engine and give the oil several
minutes to drain back into the oil pan. If you
do not do this, the oil dipstick might not
show the actual level.
2. Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper
towel or cloth, then push it back in all the
way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down,
and check the level.
