Engine Oil
To ensure proper engine
performance and long life,
careful attention must be paid
to engine oil. Following these
simple, but important steps
will help protect your
investment:
.Use engine oil approved to
the proper specification and
of the proper viscosity
grade. See “Selecting the
Right Engine Oil” in this
section.
.Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See
“Checking Engine Oil” and
“When to Add Engine Oil” in
this section.
.Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See Engine
Oil Life System 0381.
.Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “What to Do
with Used Oil” in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level
regularly, every 650 km
(400 mi), especially prior to a
long trip. The engine oil
dipstick handle is a loop. See
Engine Compartment
Overview0373 for the
location.
{Warning
The engine oil dipstick
handle may be hot; it could
burn you. Use a towel or
glove to touch the dipstick
handle.
If a low oil Driver Information
Center (DIC) message displays,
check the oil level.

The jump start positive
terminal (+) and negative post
(−) are on the battery of the
vehicle providing the jump
start.
The jump start remote positive
terminal (+) and the remote
negative grounding terminal (−)
for the discharged battery are
on the passenger side of the
vehicle.
The positive jump start
connection for the discharged
battery is under a cover. Lift
the cover to expose the
terminal.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative
ground system.
Caution
If the other vehicle does not
have a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both
vehicles can be damaged.
Only use a vehicle that has a

12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump
starting.
2. Position the two vehicles so that they are not
touching.
3. Set the parking brake firmly and put the shift
lever in P (Park) with an
automatic transmission,
or Neutral with a manual
transmission.
Caution
If any accessories are left on
or plugged in during the

4. Turn the ignition off. Turnoff all lights and
accessories in both
vehicles, except the hazard
warning flashers if needed.
{Warning
An electric fan can start up
even when the engine is not
running and can injure you.
Keep hands, clothing, and
tools away from any
underhood electric fan.
{Warning
Using a match near a
battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have
been hurt doing this, and
some have been blinded.
Use a flashlight if you need
more light.
Battery fluid contains acid
that can burn you. Do not
get it on you. If you
accidentally get it in your
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.
{Warning
Fans or other moving engine
parts can injure you badly.
Keep your hands away from
moving parts once the
engine is running.
5. Connect one end of the red positive (+) cable to the
remote positive (+)
terminal on the discharged
battery.
6. Connect the other end of the red positive (+) cable to
the positive (+) terminal of
the good battery.
7. Connect one end of the black negative (–) cable to
the negative (–) terminal of
the good battery. Do not let the other end
touch anything until the
next step. The other end of
the negative (–) cable does
not go to the dead battery.
It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal
engine part.
8. Connect the other end of the black negative (–) cable
to the negative (–)
grounding point for the
discharged battery.
9. Start the engine in the vehicle with the good
battery and run the engine
at idle speed for at least
four minutes.
10. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery.
If it will not start after a
few tries, it probably needs
service.
