Engine Oil Level

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Frontier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before starting the engine make sure the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface, then check the oil level. If the engine is already running, turn it off and allow 10 minutes before checking.

  1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
  2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within the range as indicated on gauge.
  3. If the engine oil is out of range, add oil as necessary.
