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
Maintenance Schedule 0246.
. 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 Overview
0181 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.
Follow these guidelines:
. To get an accurate reading, park
the vehicle on level ground.
Check the engine oil level after
the engine has been off for at
least two hours. Checking the
engine oil level on steep grades
or too soon after engine shutoff
can result in incorrect readings.
Accuracy improves when

184 Vehicle Care
Caution
Failure to use the recommended
engine oil or equivalent can result
in engine damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Use of Substitute Engine Oils if
dexos1 is unavailable: In the event
that dexos1-approved engine oil is
not available at an oil change or for
maintaining proper oil level, you
may use substitute engine oil thatmeets American Petroleum Institute
(API) approved specifications of the
appropriate viscosity grade. These
oils have the API certification mark
on the front of the container.
Viscosity Grade
Use SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade
engine oil.
When selecting an oil of the
appropriate viscosity grade, it is
recommended to select an oil of the
correct specification. See
“Specification”
earlier in this section.
Engine Oil Additives/Engine
Oil Flushes
Do not add anything to the oil. The
recommended oils meeting the
dexos1 specification are all that is
needed for good performance and
engine protection.
Engine oil system flushes are not
recommended and could cause
engine damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain
elements that can 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 filter before disposal. Never
dispose of oil by putting it in the
trash or pouring it on the ground,
into sewers, or into streams or
bodies of water. Recycle it by taking
it to a place that collects used oil.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner/filter is near
the rear of the engine compartment
on the driver side. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0181.

When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
For intervals on changing and
inspecting the engine air cleaner/
filter, seeMaintenance Schedule
0 246.
How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Do not start the engine or have the
engine running with the engine air
cleaner/filter housing open. Before

filter, make sure that the engine air
cleaner/filter housing and nearby
components are free of dirt and
debris. Remove the engine air
cleaner/filter. Lightly tap and shake
the engine air cleaner/filter (away
from the vehicle), to release loose
dust and dirt. Inspect the engine air
cleaner/filter for damage, and
replace if damaged. Do not clean
the engine air cleaner/filter or
components with water or
compressed air. To inspect or replace the engine air
cleaner/filter:
1. Air Cleaner/Filter Cover
2. Air Cleaner/Filter Tabs (2)
1. Push the tabs (2) in at both
ends of the air cleaner/filter
cover (1).
2. Pull the air cleaner/filter cover (1) up from the air
cleaner/filter assembly.
3. Remove the air cleaner holderand filter from the engine air
cleaner/filter housing. Be
careful to dislodge as little dirt
as possible.
4. Clean the engine air cleaner/ filter housing.
5. Remove the air cleaner/filter from the air cleaner holder.
6. Inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/filter. Make sure that
the filter fits properly into the air
cleaner holder.

7. Reinstall the air cleaner/filteron the air cleaner holder and
slide them into the air cleaner/
filter housing.
8. Reinstall the air cleaner/filter
cover and be sure that the tabs
click into place.
{Warning
Operating the engine with the air
cleaner/filter off can cause you or
others to be burned. The air
cleaner not only cleans the air; it
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
helps to stop flames if the engine
backfires. Use caution when
working on the engine and do not
drive with the air cleaner/filter off.
{Warning
Never pour fuel into the throttle
body or attempt to start the
engine with the air cleaner
removed. Doing so could result in
serious injury.
Caution
If the air cleaner/filter is off, dirt
can easily get into the engine,
which could damage it. Always
have the air cleaner/filter in place
when driving.
Cooling System
The cooling system allows the
engine to maintain the correct
working temperature.
