Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I 2.2L L4: Checking Engine Oil
Engine Oil
It’s a good idea to check your engine oil
level every time you get fuel. In order to
get
an accurate reading, the oil must be
warm and the vehicle must be on level
ground. Turn
off the engine and give
the
oil a few minutes to drain back into
the oil pan. If
you don’t, the oil dipstick
might not show the actual level.
To Check Engine Oil:
Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a
paper towel
or cloth, then push it back
in all the way. Remove it again, keeping
the tip lower.

Oil 2.2L L4: Adding Engine Oil
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 and Specifications.

Oil
111 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 proper
operating range, your engine could
be damaged. For crankcase capacity, see the
Index under
Capacities and Specifications.
’,
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.
I 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.
I NVIIUL:
If you use oils that don’t have the I
SG designation, you can cause
engine damage not covered by your
1
warranty. I
