Hi, I wanted to check my engine level because I got 3k mileage and it has been 7 months already, when I open the oil cap arent' there supposed to be a stick where I can check the engine level? or it is somewhere else? I don't have the manual on me at this point...

It's under the hood. You don't need to remove anything, nor do I remember it being particularly difficult to find. If you can't locate it, bring it to the nearest full service gas station and ask the attendant to check the oil (while you watch).

It's on the left side of the engine near the battery, and has a yellow ring on the end for you to pull it out. You can barely see it in the picture below - it's between the end of the left engine cover and the intake tube. If you look hard, you can see the yellow ring sitting in the shade.

I know in NJ you can't pump your own gas so there are full service stations around. But in the rest of the country good luck in finding a full service gas station. They are just about extinct, and those that exist really are just there to pump your gas. They don't do the old skool stuff like washing windows, checking tire pressures, or checking your oil. ![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
