Checking the Oil

  1. Open the hood. (See Opening the Hood) Remove the dipstick (orange or black ).
  2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or paper towel.
  3. Insert the dipstick all the way back into its hole.
  4. Remove the dipstick again, and check the level. It should be between the upper and lower marks.

    Add oil if necessary.

Note: Under certain driving conditions, it is normal for the engine oil level to rise above the upper mark. If you have a concern, consult a dealer for details.
