Engine Oil
If the LOW OIL light
appears on the instrument
panel, it means you need to
check your engine oil level
right away. For more
information, see “Low Oil
Light” in the Index.
You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is
an added reminder.
Checking Engine Oil
It’s 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 the yellow loop located
near the back of the engine. See “Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index for more information on location.
Do not check the 5.7L V8 engine oil level after the engine
has been sitting overnight. A higher than normal reading
might be obtained. Check oil level with the oil warm.
