Oil Check
Continuous contact with used motor oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory animal tests. Avoid prolonged contact. Wash skin with soap and water. Launder or discard soiled clothing.
The oil dipstick and fill tube is located on the engine. Access the dipstick through the right rear wheel well.
To check the oil, do the following:
-
Position the vehicle on a level surface and turn the engine off.
-
Place the transmission in PARK.
-
Always clean away all dirt and debris from the dipstick area 1 before unscrewing the dipstick. Unscrew the dipstick. Wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
-
Reinstall and tighten the dipstick.
-
Unscrew the dipstick and check the oil level.
-
Add the recommended fluid as needed. Maintain the oil level in the safe range between the FULL 2 and ADD 3 marks. Do not overfill.
-
Reinstall and tighten the dipstick.
