Engine Oil
If your vehicle has the 3.5L V6 engine and the
LOW OIL LEVEL message appears on the Driver
Information Center (DIC), check the engine oil
level right away. For more information, see LOW
OIL LEVEL under DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 206.
You should check the engine oil level regularly;
the LOW OIL LEVEL message in vehicles with the
3.5L V6 engine is an added reminder.
Checking Engine Oil
It is a good idea to check the 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 308
for the location of the engine oil dipstick.
1. Turn off the engine and give the oil several
minutes to drain back into the oil pan. If you
do not do this, the oil dipstick might not
show the actual level.
2. 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.
