1993 GMC SIERRA engine oil capacity

When to Add Oil: If the oil is at or below the ADD mark, then you’ll need
to add some oil. But you must use the right kind. This part explains what
kind
of oil to use. For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specifications”
in the Index.
Don’t add too much
oil. If your engine has so much oil that the oil level
gets above the upper mark that shows the proper operating range, your
engine
could be damaged.

Push the dipstick all the way back in when you’re through.
