Engine Oil Level Check - 2.2L Engines

Skill Level Step-By-Step Instructions
Easy
  1. Ensure the vehicle is warm and on level ground.  Leave the vehicle parked for 5-15 minutes, to allow all the oil to drain back down into the oil pan.

  2. Open the hood and locate the Engine Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick.  On the 2.2L, it's located right in front of the engine, in the centre of the engine bay.

  3. Unscrew the oil fill cap, and remove the cap/dipstick.  Wipe the dipstick clean with a paper towel or cloth, and re-insert it, fully tightening the fill cap.

  4. Remove the fill cap/dipstick once again, and check the oil level.  Ensure that the level is within the cross-hatch between the "Add" and "Full" marks.

  5. Add 5W-30 oil or equivalent if necessary.

  6. Reinstall the fill cap/dipstick.
