If the LOW OIL LEVEL message on the Driver 
Information Center comes on,  it means  you  need  to 
check  your engine oil level right  away. For more 
information, see “Driver Information Center” 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 level 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 
next to  the coolant surge 
tank.  The dipstick handle  is 
a  round, yellow loop. 
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. 
Checking  Engine  Oil 
Pull  out the dipstick  and  clean it with  a  paper  towel  or  a 
cloth,  then  push  it back  in all the  way.  Remove  it again, 
keeping the tip down. 
When to Add Engine  Oil 
If the oil  is  at or below  the  ADD  mark,  you’ll  need  to 
add at least  one quart  of oil.  But  you  must  use  the  right 
kind. This part explains  what  kind  of oil to use.  For 
crankcase  capacity, see “Capacities  and  Specifications” 
in the Index.
