Check the Engine Oil Level
Check the engine oil level using the dipstick located on the left side of the engine.. This should be done after the engine has been turned off and oil in the lubrication system has had time to drain back into the oil pan..
Unscrew the dipstick handle (1) and pull the dipstick from the tube.. The dipstick is marked to show the minimum (ADD) instead of (L) and maximum (FULL) oil level for the engine.. If additional oil is needed in the engine, unscrew the filler cap handle (2) and add oil as necessary..
NOTE: The vehicle must be level when checking the oil level.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the engine with the oil level below the ADD mark or above the FULL mark. Wait at least five minutes after shutting off the engine to check the oil. This allows time for the oil to drain to the oil pan.
