AKENG44_Escalade Page 301 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 4 Checking the Fluid Level The best time to check the engine oil level is when the oil is warm: 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake. 2. Stop the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan. 3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. 4. Reinsert the dipstick all the way until it is firmly seated. 5. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil level. Keep the dipstick pointed down to get an accurate reading. The oil level must be in the cross-hatched area on the dipstick. Add oil as required. Avoid over-filling the engine since this may cause engine damage. NOTICE Don't add too much oil. If your engine has so much oil that the oil level gets above the upper mark that shows the proper operating range, your engine could be damaged. 6. Reinsert the dipstick all the way until it is firmly seated. – – – – 301 . . .
