-
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.
-
Open the hood and locate the Engine Oil Dipstick.
On the 2.4L, it's located directly behind the engine, and directly in
front of the cruise control module. It's a yellow ring, you really
can't miss it!
-
Remove the dipstick. Wipe the dipstick clean with
a paper towel or cloth, and re-insert it, ensuring that the dipstick is
fully inserted.
-
Remove the dipstick once again, and check the oil
level. Ensure that the level is within the cross-hatch between the
"Add" and "Full" marks.
-
If necessary, add 5W-30 oil by removing the Oil Fill Cap
(located on the passenger side of the engine, right beside the strut
tower). After adding oil, reinstall the oil fill cap.
-
Reinstall the dipstick.
