Engine Oil
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears on the
instrument cluster, it means you need to check
your engine oil level right away.
For more information, see ªCHECK OIL LEVELº under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-60.
You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is
an added reminder.

What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer.
Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean
your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or
rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's
warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the
®lter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it
in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by
taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a
problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center
for help.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
SeeEngine Compartment
Overview on page 5-10for
location of engine air
cleaner/®lter and air ®lter
restriction indicator (if
equipped).
When to Inspect
If your vehicle is equipped with an air ®lter restriction
indicator, it lets you know when the engine air
cleaner/®lter needs to be replaced. On vehicles with a
restriction indicator, you should inspect the air ®lter
restriction indicator at every oil change and replace the
engine air cleaner/®lter when the indicator tells you
to. On vehicles without an air ®lter restriction indicator,
you should inspect the air cleaner/®lter at every oil
change and replace it at the ®rst oil change after
25,000 miles (40 000 km). See
Scheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4for more information.

How to Inspect
Vehicles with an Air Filter Restriction
Indicator
Locate the air ®lter restriction indicator on the engine air
cleaner/®lter cover. When the indicator turns black or
is in the red/orange ªchangeº zone, replace the ®lter and
reset the indicator. See the steps following to replace
the engine air cleaner/®lter and to reset the air ®lter
restriction indicator.
Vehicles without an Air Filter Restriction
Indicator
To inspect the air cleaner/®lter, remove the engine air
cleaner/®lter from the vehicle using the steps following.
When you have the engine air cleaner/®lter removed,
lightly shake it to release loose dust and dirt. If the
engine air cleaner/®lter remains caked with dirt, a new
one is required.
Replacing the Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
and Resetting the Air Filter Restriction
Indicator
1. Locate the air cleaner/®lter assembly on the front
corner of the engine compartment on the
passenger's side of the vehicle.
2. Loosen the screws on the cover of the housing and
lift up the cover.
