Engine Oil (CONT.)
When to Add Oil: If the oil is at or
below the ADD line, then you’ll need to
add some oil. But you must use the right
kind. This section explains what kind
of
oil to use. For crankcase capacity, see
the
Index under Capacities &
SpeciBcations.
1
Don’t add too much oil. If your
engine has so much oil that the oil
level gets above the cross-hatched
area that shows the prope
operating range, your engine could
be damaged.
i
Just fill it enough to put the level
somewhere
in the proper operating
range. Push
the dipstick all the way
back
in when you’re through.

What Kind of Oil to Use I
Look for Three Things:
SG
“SG” must be on the oil container,
either
by itself or combined with other
quality designations, such as “SG/CC,” “SG/CD,”
“SF, SG, CC,”
etc. These letters show American
Petroleum Institute (API) levels
of
quality.
If you use oils that don’t have
“SG” designation, you
can cause
engine damage not covered by your
warranty.
