Engine Oil

Inspection

1. Check engine oil level with the engine off and the car

parked on level ground.

2. Make certain that the oil level indicated on the dip-

stick is between the upper and lower marks.

3. If the level has dropped close to the lower mark, add

oil until it reaches the upper mark.

CAUTION: Insert the dipstick carefully to avoid

bending it.ProCarManuals.com

The numbers in the middle of the API Service label tell

you the oil's SAE viscosity or weight. Select the oil for

your car according to this chart:

An oil with a viscosity of 5W - 30 is preferred for

improved fuel economy and year-round protection in the

car. You may use a 10W - 30 oil if the climate in your area

is limited to the temperature range shown on the chart.

4. Fill the engine with oil up to the specified level, run

the engine for more than three minutes, then check

for oil leakage.ProCarManuals.com

Oil Filter

Replacement

Be careful when loosening the oil filter

while the engine is hot. Burns can result because the oil

temperature is very high.

1. Remove the oil filter with the special oil filter wrench.

2. Inspect the threads and rubber seal on the new fil-

ter. Wipe off the seat on the engine block, then

apply a light coat of oil to the filter rubber seal.

NOTE: Use only filters with a built-in bypass system.ProCarManuals.com
