Engine Oil Level Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill crankcase with engine oil, pressure loss or oil foaming can result.
Inspect engine oil level approximately every 800 kilometers (500 miles). Unless the engine has exhibited loss of oil pressure, run the engine for about ten minutes before checking oil level. Checking engine oil level on a cold engine is not accurate.
To ensure proper lubrication of an engine, the engine oil must be maintained at an acceptable level. The acceptable levels are indicated between the ADD and SAFE marks on the engine oil dipstick.
It is recommended that the engine oil level should be checked when the engine is at operating temperature.
- Position vehicle on level surface.
1 - Engine Oil Dipstick - With engine OFF, allow approximately five minutes for oil to settle to bottom of crankcase, remove engine oil dipstick.
- Wipe engine oil level indicator clean.
- Install the engine oil level indicator and verify it is seated in the tube.
- Remove the engine oil level indicator, with handle held above the tip, take oil level reading.
- Verify the oil level to be at the top of the "SAFE" range +/- 1/4 of the total distance of the range.
- Add oil only if level is below the ADD mark on the engine oil level indicator.
