Engine Oil Level

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan 350Z. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.

Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within the range shown in the figure.
If it is out of range, adjust it.
