There are a couple of things you may be able to do to check. One is on the odometer/tripometer there may a be an option that tells you the oil life percentage. You may have to keep flipping through options to find it. If it exists & tells you 40% or less, then you need to get an oil change soon. Another option is to check the dip stick. Take it out, wipe with a clean cloth & reinsert. When removed again it will give you an idea of whether you are low on oil or if the oil you have is pretty dirty. In both cases get an oil change soon. If you are unable to check your dip stick, try asking a neighbor - it is a common check & someone will probably be able to help you.
