Engine Oil Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Pull out the oil dipstick, clean off the engine oil on the oil dipstick, and then reinsert the oil dipstick.
  2. Pull out the oil dipstick, and check the engine oil level is within the marks on one side of the oil dipstick (engine cover side).
    NOTE:
    • Checking the oil might be difficult shortly after stopping the engine or engine oil replacement.
    • If difficult, take some time (approx. 30 sec.) and try again.
    • Refer to the information label indicating the engine oil check process on the rocker cover.

  3. Check that the engine oil is not excessively dirty, that there is no coolant or gasoline mixed in, and that it is sufficiently thick and slippery.
