1. Check engine oil 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 bend-

ing it.

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:

Ambient Temperature

-20

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.
