If it's similar to earlier models, the oil dipstick is built into the oil filler cap. Unscrew the cap, pull the dipstick out, wipe it dry and reinsert it. Remove it again to read the oil level.
The side of the driver's door on my 2002 Pontiac sunfire is a little hard to read, but I believe it says 30 PSI.
With the transmission in park, and the engine running. Remove the dipstick wipe and dip again then read. It will show fluid if its cold or warm. (Just a tip use dexron 3 type trans fluid.)

To read the oil dipstick in the 1997 Ford F150, remove the dipstick from the oil reservoir. Wipe the dipstick clean and then place it back into the reservoir. Then, remove the dipstick again and look for the height of the oil on the stick. It should be in the "Full" range.

i have a 2004 Pontiac sunfire, my guages started acting crazy too. My speedometer didnt work at all, my rpm guage was way off, and my fuel guage always read something different. Usually when multiple guages go out at once, its your guage cluster. If that's what it is, that's a dealership only part.
The traction control system has engaged and is applying the brakes and / or altering the power to the drive wheels to control wheel slip. Read your owners manual for specifics.
