See Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-33 You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is an added reminder. Checking Engine Oil It is 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 a yellow loop. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for the location of the engine oil dipstick. Turn off the engine and give the oil several minutes to drain back into the oil pan. If you don't, the oil dipstick might not show the actual level. 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. Engine Oil If the LOW OIL LEVEL or LOW OIL PRESSURE message on the Driver Information Center appears, it means you need to check your engine oil level right away. For more information, see "LOW OIL LEVEL" and "LOW OIL PRESSURE" under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-59. 5-13
