Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

All right, we're going to pop the hood right here. Pull that lever. There's a release right here. If you go to the center, to the right a little bit, right there. We're going to grab the prop rod, and put it right there.

Your oil dipstick is right here, underneath your throttle body. Pull it out. Wipe it off. Stick it in and recheck it, and as you can see the oil level is all the way up to the top, which is good. You want it in these hash marks. If it's towards the lower end, you're going to have to add oil. You want it anywhere within this part of the higher end of the hash marks. Stick the dipstick all the way back in. If you have to add oil, or when you're changing your oil, you can put your oil right here in the oil cap. Use a funnel, put the oil cap back. Twist it down.
